I’m using a remote XML file to load images.  
I need to know how to center an image no matter it’s width or height.  
I re sized the entire site to about 725×600  
Now my wide images position themselves at the top and they have a black area at the bottom (that is if I resize them to fit into the 700 width of the swf)  
EXAMPLE [http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/2844/picture5aq4.png](http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/2844/picture5aq4.png)  
Long images that I fit in the 600 position themselves to the left and I have a huge gap to the right of them…

I need to figure out how to add some action script to center the image in the VERY middle no matter it’s width or height.
