MovieClip ALIGN: Aligns clips to this clip as done through the
align panel. You can align left sides, right sides, bottoms,
tops, and centers either horizontally or vertically.
Arguments:
- h: (horizontal align) alignment horizontally. This can be any one of three strings, "left",
"right", "center", or null (or anything other than those 3) for no alignment.
- v: (vertical align) alignment vertically. This can be any one of three strings, "top",
"bottom", "center", or null (or anything other than those 3) for no alignment.
- mcs: (moveiclips) any number of sequentially added movieclips which are to be aligned
to this clip.
Note:
- alignment is done through any scope.
Example:
// align clips a, b and c to this clip when the mouse is pressed
// aligns all clips to the left of this.
onClipEvent(mouseDown){
this.align("left", null, _root.a, b, _parent.container.c);
}
// align clips a, b and c to this clip when the mouse is pressed
// aligns all clips to the center vertically (along x axis)
onClipEvent(mouseDown){
this.align(null, "center", _root.a, b, _parent.container.c);
}

for (i=2; i<l; i++){
ab = arguments[i].getBounds(_root);
if (h=="left") arguments[i]._x += tb.xmin - ab.xmin; // left align
else if (h=="right") arguments[i]._x += tb.xmax - ab.xmax; // right align
else if (h=="center") arguments[i]._x += tb.xmin + this._width/2 - ab.xmin - arguments[i]._width/2; // center align y axis
if (v=="top") arguments[i]._y += tb.ymin - ab.ymin; // top align
else if (v=="bottom") arguments[i]._y += tb.ymax - ab.ymax; // bottom align
else if (v=="center") arguments[i]._y += tb.ymin + this._height/2 - ab.ymin - arguments[i]._height/2; // center align x axis
}
