placement of video on level 2

[asaph1]

I am working on a video player that will work similar to an mp3 player.

The code that I have does not specify setting for video, however it plays swf's using actions scripts. The player works great, but I cannot figure out how to place the swf's at a particular coordinate. I am using the load movie action script. The swf's appear in the upper left hand corner of the page, and I need them to be located at another place. I have tried to put the coordinates in the script of the button, but the button moves instead.

script

on (release) {
loadMovieNum (location, 2);
}


what needs to be added to get an x, y coordinate.

Thanks

the coordinates are properties of the mc object you load the SWF into.

_level2._x = ?
_level2._y = ?

you will need to wait until the SWF starts to load before applying this code, otherwise the mc object may not exist at the time you try to move it.

I am not sure the best way to acheive this second part.
