I know I should reposotion the contentHolder mc when the content is loaded.
I`d do this with this script here:
contentHolder._x = Stage.width/2 - (contentHolder._width / 2);
contentHolder._y = Stage.height/2 - (contentHolder._height / 2);
I placed the function on almost possible spot in the FLA, but I can`t figure it out. Also I tried to call the relocate function from the loaded content .swf.
I`m using this gallery script:
onClipEvent (load) {
function executeAction(action)
{
//loadMovie(action, _parent.contentHolder);
//_root.createEmptyMovieClip("leer", this.getNextHighestDepth());
//loadMovie("leer", contentHolder);
mc.changeAlpha(0, false, action);
//
// Uncomment the above line to get the menu working
// and add a content mc on the stage (with the instance name "content") to
// load in your stuff (swf's, jpg's, etc).
//
}
MovieClip.prototype.changeAlpha = function(alphaTo, theLoader, action)
{
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if(this._alpha > alphaTo)
{
this._alpha -= 10;
if(this._alpha <= alphaTo)
{
if(!theLoader)preload(action);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
else if(this._alpha < alphaTo)
{
this._alpha += 10;
if(this._alpha >= alphaTo) delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
function preload(thePath)
{
mc.loadMovie(thePath);
_parent.attachMovie("loader", "loader", 101);
_parent.loader._x = 390;//loader x position
_parent.loader._y = 270;//loader y position
this._parent.onEnterFrame = function()
{
l = Math.round(mc.getBytesLoaded());
t = Math.round(mc.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = l/t;
trace (t);
trace (l);
//this._parent.loader.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (l>0 && l>=t)
{
_parent.loader.changeAlpha(0, true);
mc.changeAlpha(100);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}

helping to find the right line to insert the center function is greatly appreciated. thx,
