I’ve attached a screen capture of what is going on. Why is the below code not working properly? I’ve looked everywhere and everything is the same for centering a video on the stage. For some reason, it’s moving the top left corner of all videos to the center of the stage. I’m using XML to load a playlist of external videos. Some are 16x9 ratio & some are 3x2 ratio. This is why i’m wanting to center the loaded video on stage. Thanks for any help!!

```auto

vid.x = (stage.stageWidth - vid.width) / 2;
vid.y = (stage.stageHeight - vid.height) / 2;

```
