title: Set registration point of a MovieClip to its center in AS3
body: <p>Can I set the registration point of a MovieClip (or other Display Object)  to its center upon creation in AS3?</p>
  
  <p>the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myClip:MovieClip  = new MovieClip();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>sets the registration point of myClip to its top left corner by default. Using Flash CS4 to  set it to its center is just a couple of clicks, so I am wondering how I can perform the same action only with code.</p>
