I have the following problem : I’m resizing a movie clip using the xscale and yscale attributes. The problem is that the MC is resized, but it’s no more in the center of the flash animation screen. I know that I need to change the x and y attributes to reflect that. But I have no clue about what I need to write !  
Please help me, thanks.
