Hi,

Working on my portfolio. Doing it in AS2, and I have it as a liquid layout with the background scaling to fit the browser and some page elements locking to the right and bottom of the page.

Here’s where I’m having a problem - I want to have a project detail clip open on top of everything, centered. I accomplish that just fine with this code:

var list:Object = new Object();  
list.onResize = function(){  
detail1.\_x = Stage.width / 2 - detail1.\_width / 2;  
detail1.\_y = Stage.height / 2 - detail1.\_height / 2;  
}  
Stage.addListener(list);

list.onResize();

Problem is, once I resize the browser window, it jumps the clip to the middle left side of the stage.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I hope that’s enough of a description - please let me know if you need more and I’ll try to describe it better.

Thanks!
