ok so i got a little dilema. ive seen the tutorials on centering a jpeg to a movie clip when its loaded but they are actually cheating . All they do is load it in the center of the stage and not the center of the actual movieclip. This was working fine untill i decided to upload it on the web. And now its all screwed up because i think its trying to recalcuate what the "center" of the stage is everytime u resize ur broweser window. For anyonen who doesnt know the code im talking about here it is:

_root.container._x = Stage.width/2;
_root.container._y = 50;
_root.container._alpha = 0;

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.container._width>0) {
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
_root.container._x -= _root.container._width/2;

}
};

Is there a better "proper" way of doing this? Im surprised Adobe didnt fix this in cs3...
Any help or points in the right direction would be really appreciated.. Thanks guys!!

OK. i figured it out nm guys. Instead of defining the center as Stagewidth i actually jus wrote in numbers how big the stage was and divided that by 2. it worked perfectly since that number is always consistent
