First off I would like to apologize if this topic has already been covered. I searched this forum pretty thoroughly and was not able to find the answer I was looking for, thus my question: how do I position a movie clip that I call in the first frame? I want to do something like at this site: http://www.erain.com/community/contests/Pattys/Pattys.asp …where I can load different movie clips into a specifc part of the stage. I kind of understand _x and _y positioning, but what I don’t understand at all is how you can position something that doesn’t have an instance name (like when you use [COLOR=blue]loadmovie[/COLOR] to call your clip on the first frame)
Also, I was wondering if you can constrain the height and width of a movie clip into a set area on your stage. For example the movie clip I want to export is like 550 x 400, but the stage area I want it at is only 225 x 200, is it possible to shrink it down using actionscript in the movie I am importing it into?
Thanks to anyone who can clarify these things for me. :thumb:
