LoadMovie Holder!

[predator53]

Hi guys!

Got another question and this time it might sound newb but o well bare with me

Ok...i want to load a movie into a frame which I made a movie. What i mean is not load the movie in the frame at the X=0 Y=0 location but in the movie itself!

I tried levels but i guess thats not it so HELP!

I dont see what your saying, do you mena loading an external swf into an empty MC?

Ya load a mov thats on a site to my default movie...but i want it in a specific spot...not just load it in the middle of my def movie!

then create an empty MC and give it an instance name of holder.

then move the MC to the postion you want it, the MC will be the top left corner of your loaded movie.

on the button or whateverway your loading it put this code on it

on(release){
_root.loadMovie("loadedClip.swf", "holder");
}


then on your swf MC that you are loading move the image or contents to the top left corner at 0,0 ya know x and y!.

Now with your exteranl MC on the server and not in your main Movie, by pressing the button it will load it into the holder MC that you made. Then you can move the empty MC anywhere you want without messing up everything else, Tip: I always use this that way I can move stuff around and the loaded swf has it own timline so if I need to adjust anything is contained in a small MC, rather than mixed in on a big motion tween on the main timeline.
