How to align center the xml loaded images?

programming flash
1

Hey,

First of all, thanks for the great information on this website!

I just finished reading and building the Photo Gallery using XML and Flash tutorial.
Now i was editing it a bit to my desire, but im having trouble with positioning.

My external images are all different sizes, and I would like to align them to the horizontal center of my Flash area.

im not a big flash hero, so could use some help please :slight_smile:

Thank you!



function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        xmlNode = this.firstChild;
        image = [];
        description = [];
        total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
        for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
            image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
        }
        firstImage();
    } 
    else {
        content = "file not loaded!";
    }
}

xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
