Load MovieClip at X, Y

[alokwww]

I'm sure you can do this but I have no idea how.

Say I have a Movie Clip that is identified as "MC1"

How can I (using actionscript on a pushbutton) make the Movie Clip appear and play at the coordinates 100,100?

I know I can just put MC1 on another frame and link the button to there but is it possible to make the movie clip appear at those coordinates so I dont have to link it to another frame?

Thanks

If you have a first blank keyframe with a stop(); action on that movie clip, just position it at 100,100. Then when you want it visible and playing just use:

_root.MC1.gotoAndPlay(2);

Assuming MC1 is also the instance name of the mc on stage and not just it's Library name, and that it is not nested in any other mc, in which case you would have to add the instance names of those "parent" movie clips to your gotoAndPlay action. Regards,

Don't worry, if my reply is wrong, BillWatson will clean it up for me!
