I am loading a swf into a level, but need to use actionscript to manipulate its location in the root movie. This is my code:
stop ();
loadMovieNum (“logo_sm.swf”, 1);
_level1._x = 300;
// whatever you want for upperleft x
_level1._y = 300;
// whatever you want for upperleft y
yet the loaded swf continues to load in its native position, rather than at any coordinate which I specify. It is riding in the upper left hand corner, even tho here I am indicating a much different position. What am I doing wrong?
have you tried to load into target? into a empty MC let’s say…
you could just put this empty mc into a level you want , and then load into this mc and put it into the coordinates you want.
I prefer loading a SWF because of file size. Besides, I know it is possible and common to do it this way and if only for the sake of thoroughness I ought to know how to do it.
