Ahhhh, Val, I knew I could count on ya' mate ............ even before I went to fiddle with it for the day, I was going to reply saying that I think you may have had something with the registration points - just made sense: I hadn't checked it out, it was very plausible and it was something simple. I decided to respond after checking it out since I would have responded again anyways, lol.

The reason I thought it may have something to do with that line of code is because, it wasn't misaligning anything until after I assigned an instance name to the Movie Clip. Never even thought about the registration points.

Out of curiosity, though Val, is there a way to re-assign registration points, without re-creating the whole symbol (Movie Clip, Button, Graphic etc.)?

I was kinda of hurried, so I just jotted down its size and coordinates, deleted it from the library (needed the same instance name so I didn't have to change the coding) and re-created it with a new registration point. Seems there should be a more efficient way of doing this - though it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there wasn't.

Thanks again, mate, I hope your enjoying the new direction you've taken in PHP/SQL.

Val ......... you remember at the beginning of the year you sent me to the link to the site of some of your flash projects?? I was wondering if you could re-post that link for me, for study purposes.

Thanks again, mate

P.S. Just because Im a curious f***er, you said that the way Im doing it is a different style than yours .......... maybe you wouldn't mind posting a bit of how you would have handled the same project, again ... for informational purposes - Im always looking to learn a new angle!!
