Positioning sprites 65
The following diagram shows all the sprite coordinates you can specify.
Director places the image of a cast member on the Stage by specifying the location of its
registration point. For many cast members, such as bitmap or vector shapes, the registration point
is in the center of the bounding rectangle by default. For other types of cast members, the
registration point is at the upper left corner. (For instructions on changing the location of the
registration point of bitmap cast members, see
“Changing registration points” on page 112 . For
instructions on changing a vector shape cast member’s registration point, see “Editing vector
shapes” on page 139 .)
