Hi, I’m currently taking a class on flash, but I missed one day and now I’m stuck!  
What I need help with is the 9-slice thing. My assignment is to recreate a completed .swf file, a simple frame with buttons, and when you click a button, a new page in the frame appears from the top, left, bottom, and right. Right now, I have no idea how to just make something appear in the middle of the frame!  
I can handle the coding, buttons, and animations, but I missed out on the lecture about making a frame with transitioning content.

Can anyone help? I’ve searched google and couldn’t find anything for the info I need.
