SOLVED: Why so many different x,y possiblities? Please explain the differences?

Animation changes happen at the center of the actor.  So the starting fireball animation is at 0,0 but then you change to the smaller fireball and now your new animation is at the center of the previous one.  If you subtract half the width/height of the first animation when creating the fireball actor, it will be created with the center aligned with the middle of the screen.

Arghh!  I had the wrong default animation set. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this. I understand my mistake and the whole scaling issue.

Thanks again!
