It's my understanding that coordinates are calculated
based on the registration point. So if the
registration is the top left it would be (0, 0), but
if the registration point is set to the center, the
center becomes (0, 0) and the top left is then
-(mc._width/2, mc._height/2). When you try to center a
movie with the reg point in the upper left you use
mc._x = Stage.width/2 - mc._width/2;
mc._y = Stage.height/2 - mc._height/2;
If the reg point is centered
mc._x = Stage.width/2;
mc._y = Stage.height/2;
is all you need.
_x and _y are relative to the registration point.
Schall's class creates a faux reg point and performs
scaling, rotation and placement based on the new faux
point, but appends a 2 to each of those properties.
