sure... say you have a movie clip named contentMc, with the reg point in the center. that would mean that the upper left most content within that movie clip would have a negative _x and _y, say -50,-50. if you use: bmpObject.draw(contentMc), it will only draw a bitmap starting at 0,0....so you would only get the content in the bottom right quadrant of contentMc.
one of the params you can pass the draw() method is a transformation matrix. so if you used: bmpObject.draw(contentMc, new Matrix(1,0,0,1,50,50)); it would start drawing the bitmap from -50,-50 within contentMc. the last 2 params of the matrix are the amount of offset.

Im interested, do you have a quick example of this.
