I’m trying to create a simple utils class that I can use the methods of but not instantiate:

```auto

package com.ukfast.utils
{
	import flash.display.DisplayObject;
	
	public dynamic class Arrange
	{	
		
		/* //////////////////////////////////////////// */
		/* ////// Define Private Variables /////// */
		/* //////////////////////////////////////////// */
		
		private static var instance:Arrange;
		
		/* //////////////////////////////////////////// */
		/* ////// Define Public Functions /////// */
		/* //////////////////////////////////////////// */		
		
		public function Arrange()
		{}
		public function center(object:DisplayObject)
		{
			object.x = (object.stage.stageWidth / 2) - (object.width / 2);
			object.y = (object.stage.stageHeight / 2) - (object.height / 2);	
		}		
	}
}

```

Ideally I would import the class then call the center function like this: Arrange.center(object);

Is this possible?

Thanks,
