position loader in center of scene aghhhh

should be easy right? well none of my attempts work, they all appear in the same very edge of screen.

each loader is created with a different sized image so the loader needs to be positioned dynamically to adjust for the varying hight / width of the loader object.

i tried.

Code:

---

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
                addChild(myLoader);
                var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(description);
                myLoader.load(url);
                myLoader.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, myLoaderClick );
                function myLoaderClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

                myLoader.unload();
       
                }
                trace(stage.width, stage.stageWidth);
            trace(stage.height, stage.stageHeight);
                myLoader.x = (stage.stageWidth - myLoader.width) / 2;
                myLoader.y = (stage.stageHeight - myLoader.height) / 2;
               
               
                closebut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler9);
                function mouseDownHandler9(event:MouseEvent):void {
   
                myLoader.unload();
                }

you're trying to position it before it has a height or width. you need to position it after it's loaded. try this:

PHP Code:

---

myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( "complete", function(e){
    myLoader.x = (stage.stageWidth - myLoader.width) / 2;
    myLoader.y = (stage.stageHeight - myLoader.height) / 2;
});
