[flexcoders] SubApplications Chapter Deux...

[jamesfin]

I've been trying to center a dialog in a sub application but haven't had any 
success.  All SubApplication experts can pitch-in here...

Backgrounder...SubApps are cool because two SWF's can be compiled with 
different SDK's and can still work together.  

The upper/left-hand corner of the dialog appears between the two HRule's 
because that is where the SWFLoader resides in the parent MXML.  The dialog 
isn't clipped in any way.

I've tried many combinations to get the dialog to center but it won't budge.

For a quick demo...
