loading an swf into a location in current movie

[TurboNut]

ok that came out strange. i already have the movie loading the second clip but what i have a problem with is getting it to load the clip into the same movie only at a different position. i guess my question is how do i make a target or set up positions to display the movie. thanks again

Maybe you want to try this out:

1. Create an empty movie clip (shift-F8), called "dummy".

2. Drag the MC from the library (ctrl-L) onto the stage. Name the instance, e.g. "mc_target".

3. To load an .swf (or a .jpg) use loadMovie("your_file.swf", mc_target);

The movie will have it's (0,0) coordinate right where you put the dummy movie.

Keep in mind, that you might have to also provide the path to "mc_target", e.g. loadMovie("your_file.swf", _root.otherMovie.mc_target);

Also, you can find lots of tutorials on www.flashkit.com.

Was that what you were looking for?
