Hi, guys. This is probably a beaten subject but even after reading many post a couldn’t understand how to go about it. After doing the following: ```php this.crateEmptyMovieClip("myMC",this.getNextHighestDepth()); myMC.loadMovie("image.jpg"); ``` -would it be possible to set the [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]\_x[/COLOR] and [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]\_y[/COLOR] of _image.jpg_ relative to _myMC_? You see moving _myMC_ and then loading the picture into it will not help me because _myMC_ is to be scaled and manipulated, so its axis must be in the center of the loaded image. Of course I can always create a _childMC_ within _myMC_ and load _image.jpg_ into _myMC.childMC_, but I’d like to avoid that if possible. Thank you ---

loadMovie is technically not Actionscript 2, it’s Actionscript 1. You’d do best moving on to AS2.0, which is the movieClipLoader class. Do a live docs search, you’ll find all those answers… ---

I wanted to use movieClipLoader but for some reason, after the loading is finished, the onLoadComplete event traces ‘0’ for the \_width of the MC. ---

Alright then, is there actually a way to change the position of the loaded PIXEL DATA and not that of the movie clip (any retard knows of that solution) 'cause of the billions of posts that touch on this subject, not one actually discusses how to do that. Is it actually possible? ---

If you want to get help, calling people retards aint the way. no, you cant move the pixel data, unless you create a bitmapdata object and read the movieclips pixeldata and then shift it. however, why would you need to move pixel data in that sense? You can alway do something like; this.createEmptyMovieClip(“mainholder”,5); mainholder.createEmptyMovieClip(“subholder”,5); mainholder.subholder.\_x = 5; moviecliploader.loadClip(url,mainholder.subholder); see what I mean?
