How to chage ref point on a movie clip?

because it's rarely needed and easy enough for authors to create their own methods and classes to customize flash should they find they need a feature that's not included.

Sometimes Macromedia(Adobe) cease to amaze me. How could something such as this NOT be included in ActionScript.

i assume you mean changing the registration point using actionscript because it's trivial to do it in the authoring environment.

you can't do that with actionscript but you can fake it using ideas from penner:
