I recently received a flash movie, and was I managed to get the movie loaded into my own website, as a movieclip. Problem is that the movie automatically positions itself on top and left of the site, not the center, like I would like it to.

Is there a way to manually move the imported movieclip to a desired position?

FYI, the movieclip imported is smaller than my site's dimensions. Is that the issue at hand? Many thanks.

you can position it using the _x and _y properties just like you would any other movieclip

...But if doing it from the main movie, and loading it on a level, you can only position it once the movie is fully loaded.
Otherwise if you're loading it in a container clip, than just position the container clip based on the fact that the loaded movie will align to the top-left corner of that said container clip.
