hey everybody, i hope u can help me.
On one of my navigation buttons i want to load a movie when clicked into a specific target box the same size as the new movie, but when i just i click on it, the new movie loads into the corner of the screen (its looks like the top left of the new movie starts pretty close to the center point the target box, so that might be it) however i have changed the center point around a few times and still no difference.
this is my code anyway
on (release) {
loadMovie(“My\_profile\_Movie.swf”, “target”);
}

once your movie is loaded, just position it where you want
newmc.\_x=200;
newmc.\_y=200;
or… load your movie into an empty movie clip and the loaded movie will assume the location properties of the emtpy mc.
Good luck!
