I fixed it.
MovieClip.prototype.centerClip = function (){
var bounds = this.getBounds(_root);
//Set faux reg point to (0, 0)
_xreg = (this._x - bounds.xMin);
_yreg = (this._y - bounds.yMin);
//center faux registration point to Stage
center
_xreg += Stage.width - this._width/2;
_yreg += Stage.height - this._height/2;
//move movieClip to center
this._x = _xreg;
this._y = _yreg;
updateAfterEvent();
}
