Transforming movie clips and graphic symbols

The Transform command lets you scale, rotate, and offset the position of an existing movie clip or graphic symbol within a template.

To transform a symbol:

1 Create a movie clip or graphic symbol and place an instance of it on the Stage.
2 Make sure the Generator inspector is displayed by choosing Window > Inspectors > Generator.
3 Select the instance.
4 In the Generator inspector, choose Transform from the pop-up menu.
5 Specify a literal value or a variable for any parameter using the {variableName} syntax, as follows:
X Scale and Y Scale specify the factors to scale the instance horizontally and vertically, respectively. In the data source, valid values are 0.0 to 10.0 pixels; 1.0 produces no change.
X Offset and Y Offset reposition the instance by the specified number of pixels when the movie is generated. The instance is moved relative to its registration point.
Rotation specifies the degrees to which the instance is rotated. Negative numbers (-) rotate the instance to the left; positive numbers (+) rotate the instance to the right.
