hey guys. just a quick question.

Is there a way to use an loadMovieNum code at the beginning of a frame and make it load at a specific x and y coordinate? When I use this code it doesn’t work…

[AS]

loadMovieNum(“bodyline.swf”, 5);  
this.\_x = 43.3;  
this.\_y=130;

[/AS]

It changes the coordinates of the main background image, not the position of the movie it just loaded. I tried something like this…

[AS]

loadMovieNum(“bodyline.swf”, 5);  
“bodyline.swf”.\_x = 43.3;  
“bodyline.swf”.\_y=130;

[/AS]

but that did not work at all… Can anybody help me out here?

Thank you,

Greg
