Can I change the Flow List registration point?
Date: Aug 21, 2007   Views: 1273  
Question:
In the CS3 help file it says that the registration point grid is in the property inspector? I'd like to try changing the flowlist registration point. I don't see it in the property inspector.

The problem I am having is that I have flowlist inside center_mc. When putting that mc on the stage and running the movie, flowlist ends up in the bottom right corner. I get it centered by going into center_mc and aligning flow list to the center of the stage which puts the center of it in the upper left corner inside the center_mc. So then, in that center_mc, I have to put the scrollbar centered under it, which is actually off the stage to the left (while vieing it inside centered_mc). Running the movie at this time, puts everything correctly on the screen. So my conclusion is that you (or I) have the registration point in the center of flowlist component. Can I change this? I have seen the 8 points in a square in flash before but cant find this now. Is it not possible with components?

Changing the registration point of a component isn't possible since it is a compiled swc file. Also, all of the math to control the Flow List is done assuming that it's registration is fixed in the upper-left corner, so changing the registration would also cause some problems there. Your work-around should work fine. Thanks!
