Movieclip Problem

hi folks just wondering if there is a way in flash mx to adjust the control point of an empty movieclip.

basically what i’m trying to do is load a .swf into an empty movieclip then manipulate that .swf file. The manipuation is just a basic zoom and pan mode, but when i zoom in and out of the .swf file it automatically zooms from the top left corner, i.e. the empty movieclip. i need the .swf file to zoom from the center.

another way i had tought of acheiving this is to manipuate the contents of the .swf file but i dont now how to. what i mean is that i load the .swf file and then zoom and pan a movieclip or graphic within that .swf file.

i think thats clear if not let me know ok and i’ll try and explain it better.

thanks in adavnce for any help given
