Hi,

I am trying to load three swfs into a single frame using the following code from digital philosophy:

loadMovieNum(“movie1.swf”,“1”);  
loadMovieNum(“movie2.swf”,“2”);  
loadMovieNum(“movie3.swf”,“3”);

It works but doesn’t load the movie in the right position I want it to load. I was going to use the following code:

\_level1.\_x = 50;  
\_level1.\_y = 50;

but I don’t know where to place it. Can you please tell me how to position the movies?

Thanks for the help,

Iceman

If that code works, right after you load the movie. I.E…

```php

loadMovieNum("movie1.swf","1");
_level1._x = 50;
_level1._y = 50;
loadMovieNum("movie2.swf","2");
_level2._x = 150;
_level2._y = 150;
loadMovieNum("movie3.swf","3");
_level3._x = 250;
_level3._y = 250;

```

If that doesn’t work, I’d load the movies into separate movieClips and move them like that, but that’s just me; I like movieClips.
