Hello All Happy Holidays to all. I’m try to learn how to use the loadMovie function and am having trouble controling the size and location of swf files that I load. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks nom44 ---

yep you can do it by using an empty movie clip, or by just placing it in a diffrent level. Check this out :: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full\_site.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.asp) Its mx, but you can use it in Flash 5!! =) ---

well it all depends on how you want to load the movie in, you can load it in a level or in a target, if you were to load it into a level the easiest thing i found to do is that you save a copy of your main movie and just work in the area that you want and then delete the rest of the stuff around and save it as another file name. so when you load this movie in all things will be placed to where you want them. If you want to load it into a target, you will have to create a empty Movieclip. give this a instance, and place the movieclip registration point on the top left corner of the area you want it to be. and then load the movie in the target (instance name) . ---
