How do I position a movieClip after I´ve loaded it (loadMovie)? Using a another MovieClip as target doesn´t seem to work. grrr.  
Thanx!

Try using this…

```auto

loadMovie("yourMovie.swf", "loadToClip");

```

yourMovie.swf = the .swf file you want loaded.  
loadToClip = the movie clip you want yourMovie.swf to load at (it will attach the upper left corner of yourMovie.swf to the clip)

Hope this helps!
