[flexcoders] is there a simple way to center a loaded image?

[herklano]

hi,

i'm kinda noob at coding in general, but i'm trying to work my way to
get a image that is loaded in a Canvas to center to it after it has
been loaded to it.

i'm trying this but it doesn't work:

<mx:Canvas
                                                                                
x="10" y="10" width="190" borderStyle="none"
backgroundColor="#d0d0d0" height="190">
                                                                                
<mx:Image id="SMCDadosImg"
complete="changeSMCDadosImg(event);"  horizontalCenter="0"
verticalCenter="0"/>
                                                                        
</mx:Canvas>

            private function changeSMCDadosImg(event:Event):void
            {
                var pW_SMCDadosImg:Number;
                        var pH_SMCDadosImg:Number;
                                
                        pW_SMCDadosImg = event.target.width;
                        pH_SMCDadosImg = event.target.height;
                                
                        trace("W = "+ pW_SMCDadosImg);
                        trace("H = "+ pH_SMCDadosImg);
                        
                        if (pW_SMCDadosImg > pH_SMCDadosImg)
                        {
                                SMCDadosImg.height = 190;
                                SMCDadosImg.width = 
pW_SMCDadosImg/(190*pH_SMCDadosImg);
                                SMCDadosImg.x = 190/2 - SMCDadosImg.width/2;
                        }
                        else if (pW_SMCDadosImg < pH_SMCDadosImg)
                        {
                                SMCDadosImg.width = 190;
                                SMCDadosImg.height = 
pH_SMCDadosImg/(190*pW_SMCDadosImg);
                                SMCDadosImg.y = 190/2 - SMCDadosImg.height/2;
                        }
                        else if (pW_SMCDadosImg == pH_SMCDadosImg)
                        {
                                SMCDadosImg.height = 190;
                                SMCDadosImg.width = 190;
                        }
            }
