loadMovie

I’m trying to load a movie clip into another movie clip and I can’t seem to get it work, and when it does work it will not stay in the place I want it to no matter what _x. or _y. I put in.

any help would be great.:elderly:

youre location says “the cuse” does that mean Syracuse NY? Cuz a lot of people call Syracuse that… If so then thats cool, cuz I’m from around there… If not then, well shoot me ok!? :stuck_out_tongue:

use the syntax:

movieclip.loadMovie(“import.swf”);

This will load the import.swf into the movieclip instance and you’ll be able to move the movieclip into pixel perfect position.

You can also do something like this if you’re loading a movie via a button:

on (release) {
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMC", 0);
	_root.emptyMC.loadMovie("external.swf");
	_root.emptyMC._x = 50;
	_root.emptyMC._y = 50;
}

That will create a new movieclip with an instance name of “emptyMC” then load a external.swf into it.

It will also specify where the movieclip will be placed as well. Just modify the x and y cordinates to whatever you want.

Man the weather is nothing less then depressing, especially after living down south where I could have my windows open up through November, here you would be a lucky man to even see the sun in November. Nice to meet someone from the area.
