[Flashcoders] Registration Point of Clips (Scale 9)
Anyone have a preference for the registration point of clips created in flash that are accessed dynamically? Do you prefer Top-Left or Center alignment for your MovieClips that are Scale-9 enabled and accessed programmatically. Also, what about Text Fields within these Clips. Anyone have an opinion on this.

Re: [Flashcoders] What design pattern would this be?
Thanks Jiri, I had not seen that site. I had assumed the book covered all of the patterns I was going to need but in hindsight that was silly. The visitor pattern seems very similar to adapter however. I guess I've got a lot of learning to do. I appreciate the notion of not over engineering but until I understand them fluently I intend to implement patterns where possible no matter how trite.

Re: [Flashcoders] Registration Point of Clips (Scale 9)
For the vast majority of projects, symbols will be far easier to edit, replicate, generate and calculate with top left registration. Center registration tends to be easier however when dealing with dynamic animation systems employing lots of coordinate rotation.

Re: [Flashcoders] What design pattern would this be?
Thanks Latcho, That is actually very helpful. Now that I look at it I can see definitely would be over engineering in this case but it will be good practice for me.
