here’s the code i have currently
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loadMovieNum("2B.swf", 0);
}
```
as it is now the movie that i tell it to load, 2B.swf in this case, loads in the whole screen. i want it to load in the symbol where the contoller is
[http://www.roughedout.com/newTour.fla](http://www.roughedout.com/newTour.fla)
the symbol is called movies and there is a controller mc on the main timeline of that symbol that tells the movie to load onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if you look at my file you can see the triangular box on the right where it says “none” thats where i want the movie to load eventually.
the 2B.swf is an external movie that has been formatted with a mask to fit that box

nevermind … turns out i’m retarded … i forgot to supply the path for where i want the movie to load so by default it loaded in the main window.
i changed the code to read
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.movies.loadMovie("2B.swf", 0);
}
```
and it works … except it plays waaaay down in the bottom right, almost off the screen.
how do i make it play exactly where i want it to? what controls where the movie plays when it loads?
thanks

after you load the new clip, change its \_x and \_y properties. C’mon Shuga… you know this by now! 🙂
j/k

would i do that in another frame or in the same script
would this work?
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loadMovieNum("2B.swf", 0);
}
this._x=250;
this._y=250;
```
i’m not at work now so i can’t test the code _shrug_ yeah i shoulda been able to figure that out 🙂
