FLASH: x,y coordinate question

[Rachel Bachman]

Givens:

1. 0,0 is upper left hand corner of main timeline


2. a movie clip uses the reg point as center 

(if user center point is checked)


I am confused about the coordinate system

inside a movie clip. When I move an object

around inside the clip, the x coordinates

functions as I expect: left of center =

a negative number and right of center =

a positive number. But, the y coordinates

seem backward to me: north of center =

a negative number and south of center = 

a positive number.


Is it just like that and I should live with it?

Am I doing something wrong?

Is this a coordinate system of which I am unaware?


Any information would be of great help. 


most thankfully,

rachel
