1. you don’t need to unload a movie. If you load another movie, the pervious one will automaticly be erased. 2. To center a movie: if(\_level1.getBytesTotal()/\_level1.getBytesLoaded()) { \_level1.\_x = (800-\_level1.\_width)/2; \_level1.\_y = (600-\_level1.\_height)/2; } ---

hi man! i suggest you place it in a MC… say //create and empty mc \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“clip”,0); [AS] loadMovie(“jaz.swf”,clip); clip.\_x=(Stage.width-clip.\_width)/2; clip.\_y=(Stage.height-clip.\_height)/2; [/AS] where “clip” is a MC where you load your stuff… but if the alignment doesnt seem to center still… you can make a loop until the movie is fully loaded… or create an enterframe function and delete the enterframe after a couple of seconds… ```auto _root.createEmptyMovieClip("clip",0); loadMovie("sample.swf",clip) this.onEnterFrame=function(){ clip._x=(Stage.width-clip._width)/2; clip._y=(Stage.height-clip._height)/2; } ``` …hope that helps… ---
