Re: [flexcoders] creating an image and placing it in the middle...

[Xavi Beumala]

The problem is that flex is asynchronous. At the time you invoke the move method, flex doesn't still know the image size. Trying using a listener for the Complete event of the Image. There you'll be able to invoke the move method.
