Like the title says, I’m having trouble to center any dynamic content (movieclips, textfields…) inside a dynamically created movieclip, which has a default point of interested in the top left corner.  
Do you have any solutions?

Thanks 🙂

PS: Just as an example, I have a dynamically created text field inside a dynamically created movieclip…and when I try to scale that movieclip I need to scale it from its center
