the empty movie clip that you loaded a movieclip into using loadMovie is what you want to move.
loadMovie(“movieCliptoLoad”, “empty”) empty would be the movie clip you would want to move.

You can place the movieclip you’re loading it into freely across the stage. That shouldn’t be a problem.
If you’re creating it dynamically using createEmptyMovieClip, you have to move the created movieclip using actionscript:
```auto
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("instance_name",1);
//1 is the depth as which the movieclip is created
mc.loadMovie("yourswf.swf");
mc._x = 25;
mc._y = 350;
//or whatever values you want
```

You might already have a movieclip at the depth 1. Try changing 1 to another number.
