loadMovie

[NzC]

when loading a movie into another flash movie, how do you set the location where it appears on the movie??

[mayhem_sci]

load it into a container mc and set the location for that mc.

i did that, but when i move the MC around it doesnt change the location of the loaded movie

i dunno, it works for me

my experience with loadmovie is that it tends to create problem becos of the loading time. u can test whether this is so by loading a movie and then changing the _x and _y a few frames down the timeline.

i think that i am loading to somewhere different than the MC...what would the loadMovie parameters be??

[mayhem_sci]

what i usually do is create an empty movieclip in _root, then attach the movie to this empty clip:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("empty",1);
empty.loadMovie("something.swf");
empty._x=someNumberX;
empty._y=someNumberY;
