loading external swf

webmantis · 08-02-2002, 02:43 PM

hey...

how do i position an externally loaded movie into a certain place in existing movie...
example.. currunt movie would be 750 x 550
loading a movie 250 x 180 and would like to place it where top left corner would be at 100 down 325 across..

note: not sure if it makes any dif. with this... but the movie is being loaded to another loaded movie...
i use the navigation as main... and load each link seperatly...

sincerely,steve GB<><

If you're not loading these movies in an empty holder clip (which you can pre-position on stage), the easiest is to preset the position in the "to be loaded" movie itself, as you could set any other clip property.

Add the following on the first frame of the "to be loaded" movie:

this._x = 325;
this._y = 100;

hi...
well i tried that... not sure i follow...
like this?
assigned to button:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("movie.swf", 1);
this._x = 325;
this._y = 100;
}

thank you for helping

ahhhh wait... first frame of 'to be loaded' movie....
well can't do that... it's a video clip created in flix... and although importable into flash... it screws up the file after doing any mods...
so i have to somehow load into position by the 'button action' calling the movie to be loaded in the main movie
any other ideas?

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Holder", 1);
_root.Holder.loadMovie("movie.swf");
_root.Holder._x = 325;
_root.Holder._y = 100;
