MIT App Inventor Compass

[Cassandra_Dingler]

I am following the Compass tutorials for MIT App Inventor 2 by PuraVida Appa and Bedemo. However, following these tutorials my compass spins by its top right corner, not from its center like a compass should. I had hoped the smoother fluid update from Bedemo would fix this, but it just made it slower and worse. Is it supposed to be spinning by its corner, or have I done something wrong? I understand why the corner is its “center” point, but how do you make the center of the sprite the actual center?

use this one to fic the actual center
When placing the compass sprite use this line
CompassSprite.X = Canvas.Width/2 - CompassSprite.Width/2
CompassSprite.Y = Canvas.Height/2 - CompassSprite.Height/2
