    Can I specify a location for text or images?

    I have some text inserted and when I click on it, I see what appears to be the location in pixels on the bottom tool bar. Is there a way to specify how many pixels from the edge an object is located?

    If not, is there a way to ensure objects line up exactly from one frame to the next?

    You can use the onion skinning feature. Or you can set an objects position via actionscript.

    I am new to this web stuff, just starting to get aquainted with HTML. Is there a good place to find out how to create "actionscript"?

    Go to Transforms/ Numeric/ Position That is where you can insert x, y, coordinates to postion text, symbols....etc.

    Thank you, than you, thank you! I figured there should be a simple way to do it. Perhaps in the next release they will put the location perameters in the properties dialog box so it is easier to find.

    Thanks again,

    The position of the selection is located on the status bar.
