Hi i have a few problems that i cnt seem to resolveand need help,

1) when i import a flash menu to my flash website The menu loads in the top left corner and there are loadsss of frames so if i move 1 all of them dnt change. Ive tried using the x/y positioning but will not work, for many reasons(dont ask).

2) When i create a menu in my flash site how can i seperate the menu so the actions do not interfere with the workings of the rest of my site

3)Ive seen sites that have several tweens running at the same time and there is no slowness but when i do how come the whole flash movie runs slower until a tween ends?

Please someone help me!!

1. Loaded movies by default load into the 0,0 coordinate of their holder. create an empty movieclip (http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary512.html) and load the content in that movieclip, now you can place that movieclip anywhere on the stage you wish.

2. Make sure the code of the menu is self contained. If the menu is the swf being loaded from question one then follow the procedure stated in question 1. Make sure you do not use any _root refrences in your loaded menu.

3. I will see if someone else has a better answer for you on this one.
