Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible to define x and y positions in xml.  
At the moment I am defining the x & y in flash through

```auto
 _root.attachMovie ("","" +1,1) 

```

which works nicely. I’m loading different swf’s through xml though in the firstChildnode. I can position the mc with variables to define x & y position in flash … but not sure how to define it in xml and then pass to flash

Any Sug…  
Would be most grateful…

🙂
