I’m loading an external movieclip into an empty movieclip which is inside of another movieclip. But the movieclip I’m loading isn’t properly centering to the top movieclip.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("side2", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.side2.loadMovie("skins/default/red.swf");
this.side2._x = this._x;
this.side2._y = this._y;
output:
this.side2._x = 266.95
this.side2._y = 194
Way way way off of the top movieclip. I’d at least expect side2’s 0,0 point to be in the upper left which would snap to the center point of this. But not even close.
What’s going on here? How can I line it up correctly relative to it’s container?
