RE: FLASH: a very simple question about movie clip symbols

[Irfan Uygur]

Thanks John for the answer,

	I can now understand that when creating symbols, the center for them is

their "transform center" marked by the small

cross which will dictate their positions on the main stage. But i just can't

understand the reason to increase the

stage size by 4 times when defining symbols -just curiosity! Why did

Macromedia feel the need to do this ?

	Anyway thanks for the answer.

Hi Irfan,


Symbols cab be placed anywhere on the stage, different instances of

symbols can be placed in different spots on the stage and symbols can be

created before it is determined where on stage they will be placed

therefore it is not possible to make a coordinate system based on the

main stage. The coordinate system in the symbol edit area is based on

the center of the edit area as being 0,0.


You can do a simple mathematical calculation to transpose the x,y

coordinates between the 2 systems.
