I got a six pack of beer for whoever can help me out with this… Its killllling me…  
Can someone tell me why the Text box nested within a sprite wont stay aligned with “stage.stageWidth/2” on an enterFrame? Im so confused and im sure Im going to feel like a retard when I figure this out… its definitely a simple nesting issue… this issue keep popping up in my studies, and I just cant figure it out… I thought using GlobalToLocal, but theres got to be an easier way…

I attached a super simple example…

Thank you sooooo much for your time…
