I’m having a heck of a time getting my movie clip on the stage postion where I want it (and eventually I’ll want 8-10 movie clips running on different stage locations at the same time.) I’ve tried numerous scripts methods, this is the last one and it’s still not moving out of 0 position:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“my\_mc”, 1);  
my\_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“container\_mc”,2);

var my\_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
my\_mcl.loadClip(“textgauge1.swf”, my\_mc.container\_mc),{x\_:371.6, y\_:76};
