SWF on screen placement

[aph]

Hi I have a gallery page that when clicked on thumb nails (images as buttons)it opens the full size image how do I open the images im the middle of the screen.

this is how I'm opening the larger images (which are within a swf).

on (press){
loadMovieNum("old sufton.swf" , 1 );
}

I'm using Flash 8 BTW

cheers for any help

Just use a blank MC instance named image_mc, position on the stage as desired and use:

thumb1.onRelease = function() {
image_mc.loadMovie("animage.png");
}

not sure what a black MC instance is?
But how would I set the X Y placment of the SWF?
