Re: FLASH: Flash: Changing the center point on a symbol

[Karin Christensen]

You might try editing the symbol, moving the image relative to the

center point until it is at the place where you want it. The manual

says that you will get better results if you do it this way as opposed

to using modify/transform/edit center.  Don't ask me why.  I am

interested to see if you can get two different points of one symbol to

follow two different motion paths.  Intuition tells me this may not

work, but I've been wrong before.
