anyone can help me with this?

to center a movieClip to center of stage using the layoutConstraint class i did the following:

[AS]var stageLayout:Layout = new Layout(stage);  
var layout:Layout;

layout = new Layout(my\_mc, true);

layout.verticalCenter = 0;  
layout.horizontalCenter = 0;

stageLayout.addChild(layout);  
stageLayout.draw();[/AS]

this works ok if my\_mc is static… but if i try to move or scale contents of my\_mc it will go wrong.

i’ve some animation going inside my\_mc, adding childs and make them move, just need my\_mc to be in the same location (based on the reference point)

can some one give me light?!  
:ear:
