Paste in place between movie clips is not in place re the stage!

Hi,

I realize that pasting in place between movie clips is referening the registration point in each separate movie clip and that is why they don't align to the stage properly. So is there any way to turn this off?

Can I make my shapes align to the document stage size no matter what movie clip I'm in? Also, can the paste in place be made to paste in place always relative to the stage?

Thanks,
Stan

In the align panel on the right hand side is a 'to stage' button. Activate that while working in movieclips and on the stage. When this is not on, it will activate to your workspace.
