LoadMovie, to -X- area? Possible?

[GLHeX]

Hello, im making a file as such...

It has a basic menu bar with "Contact" "Links" and such so that when the user presses a button, for example the "Contact button" a contact window will be displayed.

Loading the movie onto level 1 isnt my problem, however the problem is it doesnt load in the area of the flash file I want it to.

I would like it to load in the upper middle, instead its loading in the right-middle-half of the screen.

Ive read of ways to "set registration marks" so that the loading movie will -snap- its upper left corner to the mark, however i have no clue how to set a reistration mark on level 1, let alone positioning the regmark.

Ive also read about creating a blank movie clip and placing it where you want your loaded movie to go, and somehow setting it so that your movie will load inside the -blank- movie clip.

I hope this all make sence.

I just want to be able to position items on level1 to a set location.


Thanks,

Put an empty mc on your stage, label it and load the swf into that mc instead of _level1. U do this by defining a target. U can either place it on the stage where u want it, or u can use the _x and _y properties of the empty mc to place it where u want dynamically :
_root.myContainerMc._x = 25;
_root.myContainerMc._y = 200;

ughhh ... need to wake up before I read stuff ...

U can place everything in a mc in the fla that u load in, then load the swf into _level1 and then adjust THAT mc ...
