Size Question

[Perry]

When I make a square from let's say 100 x 100 in the animation editor.
is it seen in the program as X = 100 and Y = 100 or X = 99 and Y = 99 (0..99) instead of (1..100)


2nd question

When I have:
1. Actice Object located on X=100 Y=100 and the object is 50 width
2. Backdrop which is also 50 width and on the SAME spot as the Active Object that is located on x=100 and y=100.
Why is it that the Backdrop is showing i.e. Y=25 X = 36 and if I set it to x=100 and y=100 it ends up totally elsewhere on the form..
I am trying to find the logic in this..

Make sure you change the hot spots for the actives, either on the top left (0,0) or center.

Basicly, hotspots are offsets but negated.

-Explained?

EDIT: For Question 2 ; 2, the backdrop is showing the correct coordinates, the active has the following hot spot: 75x and 64y. If you place the active in x175 and y164 and place the backdrop over it, the backdrop will say x100 y100. To fix, simply double click active, select hotspot tool and click the top left box in the bottom of the tool box. Now the active will show accurate position of the left and top pixel.

So it's those "HotSpots" that determ the correct positions..
Learned something here... I was things that it was for centering the item for your mouse etc..
