Hi all,

I am new here and even to actionscripting. I am trying the follwoing and need help. Urgent!

I have created a drop down menu from which I am loading ext swf to the main screen. I am able to load the ext swf with the follwoing code

on (release) {  
this.\_lockroot = true;  
loadMovieNum(“Intro.swf”, 7);  
}

This loads the swf into main timeframe on level 7. I have issue with the position as the swf load top left of the screen. I realise that I have not defined my movieclip with instance name “myContainer” here and I am not sure how to do so.

Please help
