FLASH: it doesn't work to copy/paste something at *exactly* the sameplace

[Carla Otto]

Hello,


I have a Symbol that is the last frame of a shape tween in a MC. Now I also

have the same graphic in this Symbol created as a Button because I want to

be able to use the different button states for different actions. (I did

this since it's not possible to have this shape tween as part of a Button)


My question is: what is the correct way to copy and paste the *exact*

position of a graphic from a frame of the MC to the main timeline so that I

can put the Button in there at *exactly* the same place as the Symbol?


Because I've tried  Copy/Paste in Place, but it doesn't work. The ruler

origins are different...the MC and the main timeline origins are not the

same. And I couldn't find any place to reset the origin (like you can in

other software)??????


Is this even possible (if it makes sense!)?


I realize that I can just add a new frame right after the final frame of

the shape tween. And in this frame, I can put the Button.


But it bothers me that I can't copy/paste in the same place.

And it bothers me that the ruler origins are different.


Thanks for reading and helping...

Carla
