Help Centering Images in Image Gallery

[ddtom13]

Hi just looking for a little help..hopefully its an easy fix.

Right now when my gallery loads my images via XML it seems to place them from the top left corner of the picture. i would like for them to load from the center of the image so when different size pictures load they will all be centered correctly. This is my code:

_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader._visible = false;
var _loc2 = _root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.createEmptyMovieCli p("container", "100");
_loc2._x = 0;
_loc2._y = 0;
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.my_mc.addListener(p reload);
preload.onLoadStart = function (targetMC)

I can adjust the x value but that isnt a good fix as it will only work if all the images are the same size (which they are not). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any help with this would be great ive wasted hours trying to correct it.


_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader._visible = false;
var _loc2 = _root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.createEmptyMovieCli p("container", "100");
_loc2._x = 0 ;
_loc2._y = 0;
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
preload = new Object();
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.my_mc.addListener(p reload);
preload.onLoadStart = function (targetMC)

{
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.container._alpha = 0;
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader._visible = true;
};
preload.onLoadProgress = function (targetMC, lBytes, tBytes)
{
percentage = int(lBytes / tBytes * 100);
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader.loader.g otoAndStop(percentage);
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader.loader.a utoSize = true;
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader.loader.t ext = Math.round(lBytes / tBytes * 100);
};
preload.onLoadComplete = function (targetMC)
{
changeColor();
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.container._alpha = 100;
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.textLoader._visible = false;
};
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.my_mc.loadClip(theP icPath, "_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.container");

I tried using this code in a few different ways but as soon as i change the preload.onLoadStart everything gets messed up.

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("imagecontainer", _root.imagecontainer.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {//is now loaded and initialized in flash,- ready to center
mc._x = Stage.width/2 - mc._width/2;
mc._y = Stage.height/2 - mc._height/2;
}
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
image_mcl.loadClip("image18.jpg", imagecontainer);

I just need to find a way to divide this by 2
_root.main.big_mc.big_mc_image.container.

nothing is working
