[AS]//create empty clip to load to  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 10000);  
//position empty clip  
container.\_x = 200;  
container.\_y = 300;  
//load movie  
container.loadMovie(“movieName.swf”);[/AS]

I created the container clip on level 10000 as a precaution (don’t want to overwrite any clips by accident ;))

That’s one example of doing it. You could manually create and position the clip on the stage. Of you could manually create the clip on the stage and position it via AS. Or you could use loadMovieNum where you have to wait for the movie to fully load to be able to adjust the position of the level.
