I have what’s probably a really dumb question.  
I’m trying to create an index page where you can drag a movie clip around the screen, and I’ve got as far as making the page, and I can even get the movie clip to follow the mouse around like a little puppy dog. But it will only drag from the top left corner of the movie clip - I really need it to drag from the center, how can I make it do that?

I’m sure it’s something really simple I’m missing (like learning how to use flash, maybe)

OOh, and if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial where I can learn to throw this object around like gogo red ball, that’d be awesome…but that’s not important.
