mask adding width

[Terrencing]

Hello,

Is it possible to discount the width of an elongated masked movieclip?

Basically i have a masked clip, which is a image slider, however when i center the container clip using

myClip._x = (Stage.width - myClip._width) / 2;

it takes onboard the width of the masked clip and does not truly visually center it, so am I able to ignore that hidden width?

Thank you in advance

If the mask clip is a child of the container clip, then i don't think there is a way to ignore its dimensions. I would just add an offset to your code to center the clip.

myClip._x = (Stage.width - myClip._width / 2) + xOffset;

Hi there,

I already tried using an offset and it works to an extent. But the fails again if the mask width increases when the image count increases, i pull the images with php from a folder and make flash array.

Perhaps i can trick flash by flciking the images sideways and messing around with the y coords instead of the x, worth a bash.

Thanks for responding.
