Targetting movies

[Howarm]

I am currently trying to target an external movie in to a parent movie.

The problem that I am having is that the external movie is displaying further down the page than I expected.

Having played around with the alignment of the text in the external movie and also the size of the external movie to constrain it to the size of the target area I cannot seem to solve the problem

Does anyone have any ideas, how I can overcome this?

I am using Flash 5, the code I am using is:

on (release) {
loadMovie ("http://www.furious5.co.uk/ext/about.swf", "container");
}

Thanks in advance

Doesn't work that way, I'm afraid. The loaded movie comes in at 100% of its original size, expanding the boundries of the MC you load it into. Also, loaded movies load from the top left of a movieClip, not the centre. So position your empty MC at the top left position of where you want the loaded movie to appear.

Cheers for the reply

I had a quick play around after posting the question and have sorted it out.

I just resized the child movie to the size of the parent target area and then re-positioned it in the top left had corner - hey presto!
