\_root.loadMovie(\_root.gamename, \_root.game);

… that is the code im using to load a movie into an empty mc on the main .swf

This code is in a movie that is also loaded from an empty mc in my main .swf

‘gamename’ is defined in the \_root movie and ‘game’ is the instance of the empty mc where I want it to load.

However, when the swf loads, it just loads at 0,0 in my main .swf and not where the instance of game is located.

What am I missing here?

Thanks guys.
