Flash CS3 and the case of the missing upper-left coordinates
So I finally upgraded to Flash CS3, and I noticed something that has changed in the UI.
You see that little button I circled?
In Flash 8, that button would toggle the X, Y fields between displaying the coordinates of the selected object’s upper-left corner and its registration point. In Flash CS3, though, the button toggles between showing the object’s transformation point vs its registration point.
There seems to be no way to show the object’s upper-left corner coordinates any more!
Unfortunately this was a feature I used a lot. I could write down an object’s upper-left coordinates so that I could later restore its visual position on the stage even if I changed the symbol’s registration or transformation points. Those numbers are critical if I want to edit a symbol’s registration point without disturbing its visual placement on the stage.
