Question

Rotate dynamically added movieclip from origin (0,0) and not center ?

I've got this simple code here:

          this["recipe"+i] = new recipelistname();
     this["recipe"+i].buttonMode = true;
     this["recipe"+i].recipeid = i;
     this["recipe"+i].recipename_txt.text = XMLRecept["title"];
     this["recipe"+i].x = startposX;
     this["recipe"+i].y = startposY+(30*counter);
     this["recipe"+i].rotation = -5;
        addChild(this["recipe"+i]);

The problem is that the movieclip rotates around the center. The textfield inside the movieclip is starting at 0,0. But it still rotates around the center, how can I make it rotate at 0,0?

your movieclip's registration point is its center, correct?  and that movieclip contains a textfield that's positioned with its upper left corner at the movieclip's registartion point, correct?

and you want the textfield to do what when the movieclip rotates?

Yeah, and I want my movieclip that contains the textfield to rotate from the upper left corner, and not from the center of the movieclip as it is now.

My textfield is positioned at 0,0 inside the movieclip.

I've solved it in another way for now, I added a movieclip container that I put on the stage and added the childs to that container, which I could rotate as I wanted.

then go to your movieclip's timeline and align all the assets so nothing is to the left or above the movieclip's reg point (0,0).
