PS JS script aligning image to center, want to align to left.

Hi there, i have a PS script that replaces an image layer in the PSD file with an external PNG file. and saves the newly created as a new PNG.

Right now, the way it works, it aligns the image to the center in the bounds of the earlier image.

What i would like is that it aligns it to the left in the bounds of the earlier image, instead of center aligning it.

Here's the code that i'm using that I think center aligns to the bounds-

[code]

pasted_bounds=psdDoc.activeLayer.bounds;

flag_width=Number(pasted_bounds[2]-pasted_bounds[0]);

flag_height=Number(pasted_bounds[3]-pasted_bounds[1]);

psdDoc.activeLayer.translate(original_bounds[0]-pasted_bounds[0]+((original_width-flag_wid th)/2),original_bounds[1]-pasted_bounds[1]+((original_height-flag_height)/2));

[/code]

Looking forward to the community. Thanks.

Also, i miss PS-Scripts community and Mike

Here's the complete code in case someone wants to look at it -

PS it also replaces a text image using list1.txt, that's working fine and i didn't include code for it.

[code]

var working_directory="/C/work-files/";

var image_txt="list2.txt";

var display_name_txt="list1.txt";
