I am using a full size background on my website with the following code.

```auto
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
bg.onResize = function() {
	var imageAspectRatio = this._width/this._height;
	var stageAspectRatio = Stage.width/Stage.height;
	if (stageAspectRatio>=imageAspectRatio) {

		this._width = Stage.width;
		this._height = Stage.width/imageAspectRatio;
	} else {

		this._height = Stage.height;
		this._width = Stage.height*imageAspectRatio;
	}

	_root._x = Stage.width/2;
	_root._y = Stage.height/2;
};
Stage.addListener(bg);
bg.onResize();

```

The problem any swfs that I load into are not centered because of the Stage.align = “left”;

So I adjusted all loaded swfs like so.  
\_root.\_x = 200;  
\_root.\_y= 100;

Which center my movie perfectly. The problem is when I try my movie on  
other resolutions the movie is no longer centered? Do I need to write  
some code that gets the screen resolution and adjusts the \_root based  
on screen resolution? Is there a better way? I can write the code but  
how many possible resolutions are there?
