_x center and _y

[interesting]

How can I make a movie clip center into the middle of my movie?
Instead of the cordinates being in 0 and !=0 at the top left?
I would like this (script) to aplly, when my move center is 0, in the middle of the screen.
And does this calculate the things I wish as right asd I planned=? The Sin O and hyp-lenght?

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
opps=(_root._xmouse * _root._xmouse);
sins=(_root._ymouse * _root._ymouse);
Uhyp=opps+sins;
Chyp=Math.sqrt(Uhyp);
_root.output=Chyp;
sinO=opps / Chyp;
_root.outputSin=sinO;
}

Ummmm...not sure why you need these trig functions in here. The MC should have width and height values in some sort of rectangle format, even if it is a pic of an ellipse.

code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

    totalwidth = 550;

    totalheight = 400;

    this._x = (totalwidth - this._width)/2;

    this._y = (totalheight - this._height)/2;

}

---

totalwidth and totalheight would be the dimensions of the stage.

The trig is for fun and primary, the centering weas actualyl my secondary attention : ) But great thanks anyways!
