How to Center loadMovie Registration Point

Question

Hello Flash Tech's,
I really having trouble figuring this one out.
I'm trying to use Zoom transition for my photo Gallery which
I'm using loadMovie "jpg" from Xml file.
Now the problem is here.
The Registration Point is set to the top upper left corner
and I would like it to be in the center of my loadMovie.
The Zoom transition only zoom from left corner and need to be
center equal sides.
How do I do this. My image size is "width 400px height 240px
Thanks....

This is how I'm loading the image in
loadMovie(Pic1, _root.artpics_mc.pic1_mc);
Pic1 is the jpg var..
Now I see your code and did this
//example
this.createEmptyMovieClip("imageHolder",this.getNextHighestDepth());
//position imageHolder
imageHolder._x=Stage.width/2
imageHolder._y=Stage.height/2;
var innerJpegTarget=
imageHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("jpgHolder",imageHolder.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object=new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit=function(targ){
//centre it
targ._x=-targ._width/2;
targ._y=-targ._height/2;
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mcl.loadClip("Pic1",innerJpegTarget);
Does that above look correct?
Now when I appear the Zoom Transition.
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function tweenBall() {
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
var begin = 300;
var end = 100;
var time = 3;
var position = startPoint=5;
var mc = _root.artpics_mc.pic1_mc;
Pic1 = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_yscale", easeType,
begin, end, time, true);
Pic1 = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_xscale", easeType,
begin, end, time, true);
tweenBall();
It is still zooming in the top left corner. What am i'm doing
wrong?
Everything is in the second frame together.
I'm confused. Is it a easier way of doing this?
I seen this code in another forum:
var container:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip
("container", 1);
container._x = 200;
container._y = 200;
var holder:MovieClip = _root.container.createEmptyMovieClip
("holder", 1);
holder.loadMovie ("movie.swf");
container.onEnterFrame = function ()
holder._x = (-this._width / 2);
holder._y = (-this._height / 2);
this._rotation += 10;
};
