Hello, I am working on a project right now and i got stuck on the most simple thing but very anoying! Well basicly i am trying to make a sircle to spin (gif file) and every time i do it the sircle makes 360 degree just like i want it BUT it also moves to a side and i tried to use Right Click>Timeline Effect>Transform and it does same exact thing. Can someone please help me. Below is the link of what im talking about. And maybe someone can tell me how to make that shape that i made in photoshop in Flash MX but I tried doinging in MX and the edges come out to be round.
Your circle is not centered on the Registration point. When you open a new movie clip, the dot you see is what that movie clip will rotate around. It has to be exactly in the middle of the circle, or it will be off centered when it spins.
how to make it in flash:
-draw a perfect circle (hold shift to contstrain aspect ratio) WITH NO STROKE
-ctrl-k align center to stage
-select circle
-ctrl-c (copy)
-ctrl-shift-v (paste in place)
-while the new circle is still selected, change its color
-ctrl-alt-s (scale to 70%)
-delete the smaller circle
-you are left with a thick ring
-draw a straight line across the stage above the circle
-center this line top-bottom on stage (ctrl-k)
draw a vertical line to the right of the circle
-center this line in the middle of the stage.

you should now have your ring centered and perfect cross hairs going throuh it.
-delete the section / quadrant of the circle you want to get rid of
-delete all the lines intersecting the 3/4 ring
-select the ring
-hit f8
-make it a symbol
