loading a movie clip into another movie clip

[mattmikulla]

can you load a movie clip into another movie clip so it is centered. Say I have a mc called big. I want to load small into big so it is exactly centered. Can you do this?

dont know the exact code , but its gonna be something along the lines of "y/x = - + "total movie height/width /2""

Is there any basic code to tell a movie object to center itself on the x and y. For example, I can tell myMovieclip to go to 3,3 by saying:
myMovieclip._x = 3;
myMovieclip._y = 3;
