Re: [Flashcoders] Insert new symbol
if you load your image in with a MovieClipLoader (prolly the best way to go), you can position the image, only with the onLoadInit handler. Only then will you know the dimensions of the loaded in image. the you can shift it x of image = width of image * 0.5 something like this (AS2 example): var containerClip:MovieClip = this.attachMovieClip("emptyClipFromLib", "emptyClipFromLib" this.getNextHighestDepth()); var mclListener:Object = new Object(); var imageMcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); imageMcl.addListener(mclListener); imageMcl.loadClip("images/image1.jpg", containerClip); trace("the clip width: " + containerClip._width); mclListener.onLoadInit = function(targetClip:MovieClip) { trace("the clip width: " + targetClip._width); }; Hope this helps, Sid [p e r c e p t i c o n] wrote: because i load an image into it and animate from the middle of the image...so if i can't control the registration point it animates from top left...

Re: [Flashcoders] Insert new symbol
Just move the image so 0,0 is in the middle of it and animate from there.
