In the MC, make a new layer.  Copy the largest graphic from the original

layer into frame 1 of the new layer. Now you can align things on the stage.

When you're done, either delete the added layer from the MC or convert it

to a Guide layer.


I usually create a MC by first drawing the largest element on the stage,

then using F8 to make it a symbol, then working in symbol edit to create

the rest of the symbol (be it a button, movie clip, or graphic). The

element on stage will automatically update as you change the symbol in edit

mode.
