Why MC._x and MC._y remain the same after I change MC center point??

I want to change the center point of a MC at design time and get the new _x and y_ at run time, but _x and _y stay the same.

How can I get them??

Thanks

The centre point of an mc has nothing to do with it's x or y possition.

You need to move it as an mc on the main timeline or where ever you have it in your movie.
