There's this very annoying problem i've been having for quite a long time...
Every time I paste frames into a symbol (Movie clips & Graphics) it's position will be sooo far away from where its originated from... Can anyone please help me with this.. Thanks..

Supposed that it would paste near the center of the symbol.
Can you tell what exactly do you do when copy and pasting frames?

That always happen,it's because the center point of the dimension is the center,if you animate at the desired position and the movieclip is in the center part of the dimension,the animation will be perfect.

It's like this... Example, I animate a stick running FORWARD, then... I transform the very first frame into a symbol (Movie Clips/Graphics.). After that I copied the rest of the frame and pasted it inside the symbol.. But it always get pasted somewhere away from its original position... Is it always like that or I did something wrong? Thanks

Well you should paste all of the frames to the symbol so the position will be the same lol. You can create a new symbol by ctrl + F8.

Really? No it doesn't work on mine..... Thanks though.. It's not a major problem anyway..
@Hitsu so its natural? I can't do anything 'bout it?

I'm not sure if this is what you're trying to do, but try using ctrl+shift+v to paste, instead of just ctrl+v.

Sadly to say... the position just got even FURTHER from its original position... But Thanks Exilement.

Are you copying+pasting the actual frames on the timeline? Or are you just transferring the stick figure from the main timeline to blank frames within a symbol?

I'm copying+pasting the actual frames on the timeline..

Try turning the first frame into a symbol, go back to the main timeline, copy the contents of the next frame, go back to the symbol and make a blank keyframe, then paste with ctrl+shift+v. See if that makes a difference.
