Hi, I’m working on a tutorial that I saw on [http://www.gotoAndLearn.com](http://www.gotoAndLearn.com). It shows me how to put something in the absolute center

> loaderClip.\_x = Stage.width / 2;  
> loaderClip.\_y = Stage.height / 2;

But what If I want to put something in the absolute bottom left? I know it’s not so hard but I can’t get it to work or find my flash book! thanks

OK, I found my flash book and I’m in more trouble than I was before! According to the Actionscript bible, to align something to the Bottom right I have to use this code

> Stage.align=“RB”;

But stupid as it sounds, I don’t know how to get it to work! I tried these without luck. Can anyone help?

> 

loaderClip.Stage.align=“RB”;  
loaderClip = Stage.align=“RB”;  
loaderClip.align=“RB”;

```auto
loaderClip._x = 0;
loaderClip._y = Stage.height - loaderClip._height;

```

Assuming a movie clip with top-left registration point :party:
