LoadMovie() How does one possition clip

#1

I’ve got the .swf loading into the target clip,

loadMoive(“some.swf”, _root.someclip);

but how do I position it, the current outcome the .swf
loads fine, but is way off desired position ???

If any one could shed some light it would muchly app.

The way I usually do it is like so:
I first find out the dimensions of my movie I’m loading into, say 500 X 500. I then create whatever is going to be loaded into my original file. I then copy and paste in place (ctr + shift + v) it into a new document of the same dimensions, 500 X 500. Once I have this finished up I go back to my main movie and create a blank movie clip and assign it in the upper left corner, 0,0. This way it should always turn out as desired. Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Is the 0,0 postioninging the clip with actionscript or just the old fason align pannel?

It’s just in the properties inspector. Just type it in.

Couldn’t you just do it with something like this:


// set position
_root.someClip._x = 100;
_root.someClip._y = 150;
