hi, folks,  
I am trying to place a swf file on the stage on a specific position.  
But i can’t manage to figure out how… I mean, after the event is load (the onCompleteHandler function) i use the addchild, but i reckon i have to create some kind of holder of this SWF(or maybe i’m just all the way outta of it…) Well,  
i tried to put the target. coordinate… but it’s no working at all…  
😛  
I’m kinda noob on AS.  
Any help would be great…

```auto
function startLoad(imagem:String) { 
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imagem);

mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);

mLoader.load(mRequest); 

}

function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event) {
    event.target.y = 50;
    event.target.x=150;

    addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
    

    } 

```
