well its like the tutorial Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)  
and the little window that loads a picture goes off to the corner and buttons dont work

…but like i said:  
i also did this  
loadMovieNum(“tutorial\_complete.swf”,1);  
it worked fine except that it appeared on top left corner of where it was placed

try putting in:

```auto

this._X=200//or wherever on the x axis you want the swf to load
this._y=300//or wherever on the y axis you want the swf to load

```

in the first frame of the fla that correspnds with the swf you are laoding. use the loadMovieNum like you did, but set the x and y positions to where you want them to appear.

yeah this is my script now  
[AS]loadMovieNum(“tutorial\_complete.swf”,1);  
this.\_X=-397.9  
this.\_y=11[/AS]  
but it still appears in the top left corner

</div>

you need to open up tutorial\_complete.fla and then put this:

```auto

this._X=-397.9
this._y=11

```

in the first frame of the main movie. you want tutorial\_complete to have this script in it, not the movie you’re loading tutorial\_complete.swf into.

p.s. make sure you save and publish tutorial\_complete before trying it, or it’s just going to bring up the unchanged turtorial\_complete.swf.

</div>

just use:

```auto

unloadMovieNum(1);//1 is the level you've loaded it into

```

if for some reason this doesn’t work, I’ve never used it, try this:

```auto

unloadMovieNum(_level1);

```

You had mentioned that you go to a different section…if you press a button, put that code on the button:

```auto

on (release){
unloadMovieNum(_level1);
}

```

or whatever it is you use to trigger the next section to load/appear. This code needs to go in your main movie, not in any swfs you load into it.
