I'm trying to center a preloader into the center of the stage..


It's putting it anywhere BUT the center!


if (stage!=null) {
     init();
}

addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

function init(event:Event = null):void {
     stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
     stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
     stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
          
     setBackground();
}

function setBackground() {
     //var reg2 = stage.stageWidth / 2;
     //var reg1 = stage.stageHeight / 2;
     //bg_mc.x = reg2;

     bg_mc.width=stage.stageWidth;
     bg_mc.height=stage.stageHeight;
     bg_mc.scaleX <= bg_mc.scaleY ? (bg_mc.scaleX = bg_mc.scaleY) : (bg_mc.scaleY = bg_mc.scaleX);


     preloader.x=(stage.stageWidth-preloader.width)/2;
     preloader.y=(stage.stageHeight-preloader.height)/2;
}

function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
     setBackground();
}

Correct answer kglad
then use:





if (stage!=null) {
     init();
}

addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

function init(event:Event = null):void {
     stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
     stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
     stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
          
     setBackground();
}

function setBackground() {
     //var reg2 = stage.stageWidth / 2;
     //var reg1 = stage.stageHeight / 2;
     //bg_mc.x = reg2;

     bg_mc.width=stage.stageWidth;
     bg_mc.height=stage.stageHeight;
     bg_mc.scaleX <= bg_mc.scaleY ? (bg_mc.scaleX = bg_mc.scaleY) : (bg_mc.scaleY = bg_mc.scaleX);


     preloader.x= stage.stageWidth/2;
     preloader.y= stage.stageHeight/2;
}

function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
     setBackground();
}

It's in the center of the preloader.
