I have done some searching on my problem and found some discussion but no direct answer. I have a slide show flash movie that is using actionscript and loadMovie to load a set of jpgs in. My problem is the jpgs are various sizes and I need to have them centered in the movie clip they are loading to. Below is my actionscript. Can anyone help me center the loading jpgs?  
Thanks… Bubba

// folder = “”; // Testing Only.
