Modify X,Y Coordinates of an SWF?

[CoreyC]

If a swf loads multiple swfs that each have multiple layers of content, can the X and Y coordinates of them be modified?

The flies were created at different times so the positioning is different between each file once they play.

Are you wanting to change the x, y coords of the loaded swf? or the content within them?

[CoreyC]

the swf, unless its possible to change the coords of all the content at once.

[jweeks123]

Oh yeah, you can do that easily with your loader object.

var xCoord:Number = 0;
var yCoord:Number = 0;

loaderObject.x = xCoord;
loaderObject.y = yCoord;

[CoreyC]

and that goes in each swf?

[jweeks123]

No, what happens is when you load your swf into your main file you have a complete event listener. In that listener is where you would position your completely loaded files.

[CoreyC]

So that makes the swfs load to the x and y of the main?

[jweeks123]

Yes, if you want it at x50 and y50, it would be that of the main.

[CoreyC]

It seems to make no difference, previously I had simply:

myLoader2.x = -155
myLoader2.y = -355

But I guess the problem lies in the individual SWFs.

My main and SWF1 are aligned with this, but SWF2,3,4,5 and 6 are another 30 down the Y axis. Do you have any advice?

[jweeks123]

Could you attach source? Seems there is some factor here acting wierd.

[CoreyC]

yea of course, how I attach source? You want the menu or an individual swf?

[CoreyC]

My code is very simple, this is all have on the menu

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myLoader2:Loader = new Loader();

function buttonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{   
    //trace("target name: "+event.target.name);
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name + ".swf"));
    myLoader.x = -155
    myLoader.y = -355
    addChild(myLoader);
}

myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,showPreloader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,showProgress);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,showLoadResult);

var loadProgress_txt:TextField = new TextField();

function showPreloader(evt:Event):void {
    addChild(loadProgress_txt);
}

function showProgress(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
    loadProgress_txt.text = "loaded:"+evt.bytesLoaded+" from "+evt.bytesTotal;
}

function showLoadResult(evt:Event):void {
    removeChild(loadProgress_txt);
    addChild(myLoader);
}

1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[CoreyC]

How do I set defferent x, y values for the different swfs?
