Excellent suggestion Whiterabbit,

That's why I started this thread. This forum is here to share our knowledge and save each other the frustration of having to reinvent every time there is a complicated solution to a common problem(s).

I was planning on starting an unofficial FAQ as well, but I think comparison of methods is just as crucial to development. Also, helping each other finish scripts that don't seem to do everything they should - like the one below.

This is a method I am using to load and repostion a .swf file created with Spark (thus defaulting the movie to 0,0):

video is a MC w/button actions dynamically assigned.
<i>
_root.video.onEnterFrame = function() {
_level6000._x = 175;
_level6000._y = 100;
};
//delete this.onEnterFrame - not solved yet (conditionals don't seem to work, may do a set inteval).

_root.video.onPress = function() {
loadMovieNum("video/test.swf", 6000);
};</i>

<b>Solved, see unofficial FAQ:</b> http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=356715
