first step:

How do i position dynamically loaded images inside of an empty movieclip?

The empty movie clip is named “cldImage”  
i tried to give the content loaded an instance name of content\_mc and reposition it:

var content\_mc:MovieClip = cldImage.content;  
content\_mc.\_x = 100 ;  
contetnt\_mc.\_y = 200 ;

However that did not work…the image is still positioned to the bottom right of the center of the movclip cldImage.

i know that movieclips have a default registration in the center - and image registrations are in the top left corner - what i am trying to achieve is to have the image load in the center of my stage in which the empty movieclip itself is placed.

any suggestions?
