positioning loaded movie

[Porsche]

i still dont understand how it works, positioning a .swf that is loaded using the load movie command somebody care to explain a little on this? hehehehehe

When you load a movie, it will be in the upper left hand corner. If you make your "loaded movie" the same size as the swf it's loaded into, it will be correct. In other words, if you want to load a small box with text in the lower right hand corner, make the movie the same height and width as the movie it's loading into, and place the text box in it exactly where you want it to show up in the movie it's being loaded into. I probably confused the hell out of you, but you'll see what I mean when you try it.

yo,

i think i understand what u mean, thats like if i have a 600w 350h movie, and i want a little box at the right hand bottom, i'd make another 600w 350h movie and position the box where i want it to be, and then use the load movie command, right?

i'll give it a try later (need some sleep now, 4am here )

i read about that in anothetr thread but didnt quite understand it, thanks for making it clear.

You can position a loaded movie anywhere you wish if you load it into a sprite at level -1. At http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/cs.swf I have loaded the same movie twice. Once (the left C) it was loaded into level 10 so it is at the upper left of the movie and the second time into a sprite whose position I set.

Cheers,

that sprite method doesnt work

[deltawolf]

Sprite should work..but make the movie the same as what your loading it into then you move around what you want in the movie you are loading.

[Porsche]

can u post a working .swi?

[deltawolf]

Sure! one moment

[Porsche]

the loaded.zip did not use any sprites..

[deltawolf]

I know i just gave u an example of how to chnage tne poss. of a loaded movie

[Porsche]

is that the same way to change the pos of a loaded movie for the sprites method
?

[deltawolf]

No the way without sprite

Bird,

Look at http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/F...molecules.html and http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/F...dmolecules.swi

The image in the upper left is a movie loaded into level 10 (and unloaded when the second version starts). To get the other movie loaded I inserted a sprite and then used a load movie action in that sprite to put the movie into level -1, and then positioned the sprite where I wanted it.

Hope this is clear,

Flick

I should have pointed out that since each sprite is a mini-movie, it has its own level -1, so you can load movies into many sprites and position them as in http://www.wellesley.edu/Chemistry/F...olecules2.html

Peace,

Flick

Bird,

Give it another shot - I had forgotten to include the swi in a set of files I transferred at the same time.

Sorry about that.

Peace,
