loadMovie quick, easy question!!

[aaronzimmer]

Real easy...I'm sure.

I'm loading a swf ontop of a different swf. When I do this, it automatically puts the new swf at the X:0, Y:0 location. Is there a way that I can specify where it loads the new movie?

Thanks for the help!

Guess you're loading on another level with loadMovieNum... Well it can't be positioned until it's fully loaded and certainely not on the same frame's or button's actionscript as the loadMovie action itself.

The only way to preset it's position is to do it in the "to be loaded" movie itself (in it's .fla) by adding the following on it's first frame...

this._x = 150; // offset from top-left corner (0,0)
this._y = 220; // offset from top-left corner (0,0)
