This can be more complicated than it seems... if, like I was, you are using the
imported MC height and width to find center position. These values change as
the offstage mcs move around or march onto stage.
If set the center position once, and import the mc there, it'll stay put.
If call centering routine a lot, (say on a resize function), the mc will jump around depending on the current width,height.
If you use origional centering data (i.e. save the position) and then use that
in your resize function (calculate new mc position based on old mc position,
not on mc width/height) then you may be able to stop the behavior.
If you wrote the Q you may understand this answer, otherwise, don't bother!

Im building a microsite, that is aligned to the center of the stage. I am
loading in animations that are swfs that are meant to run in the viewable
area in the microsite.
The animation fla's are exported as swfs with a mask, and I am also trying
to setMask in the shell, the animators tweens and shapes that are outside of
the mask
are affecting the size of my shell and when onResize() is called the site
jumps all over the show.
Does anyone have any ideas, bar going into the animations and cleaning up
everything that is outside the mask to get a perfect rectangle bounding box,
surely
there must be a way to do this, I have draw regions on and can see
everything going on outide the mask.
Quick fixes?
Thanks
