Hi List, So here is how I finally did:
Start out with a linked png Member. Then duplicate that member as often as you need. on init(me) var_memberNum = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.duplicate() var_memberCast = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.castlibNum pPlaceHolderPict = member(var_memberNum, var_memberCast) end Now when you swap the contents of pPlaceHolderPict, the register point is not altered: fileToOpen = the moviePath&"some.png" isFile = baFileExists( fileToOpen ) if isFile then pPlaceHolderPict.filename = fileToOpen sprite(me.spriteNum).member = pPlaceHolderPict end if Just setting the filename of a non-linked member causes the registration point to centered.
