Create a empty movie clip and give it an intance name of “container\_mc” (no quotes). Now im assuming you want the external swf to be centered onstage. If so, place the container\_mc on center of stage. Now place this code on main timeline:[AS]container\_mc.loadMovie(“yourmovie.swf”); \_root.onEnterFrame = function() { if (container\_mc.\_width\>0) { delete this.onEnterFrame; container\_mc.\_x -= container\_mc.\_width/2; container\_mc.\_y -= container\_mc.\_height/2; } };[/AS] ---
