allright, i need some help…

say i have a stage that is 2000 px high…  
let’s say there are buttons spread out from top to bottom and also,  
lets say pressing anyone shows a related MC…  
how do i make that MC center to the screen (not the stage)  
wherever i may have scrolled to?

the only thing i have found after an extensive google session is some  
vague tip about using externalInterface and retrieving the position of the  
browsers native scroller from javaScrip …but seems like a bit too much work, there’s gotta be an easier way to do this.

any help appreciated. i’m a bit stuck here…  
thanks /S
