Yo guys and gals, im trying to load a movie clip from the libary and get it to match the x and y coordinates of the move of which it is called from. I.e roll over Home movieclip and then this movieclip appears over the home movie instance.

Here is my code:

**on (rollOver) {  
targetX = Home.\_x;  
targetY = Home.\_y;  
\_root.attachMovie(“Button\_Effect”,BeClip1,0);  
BeClip.\_x = targetX;  
BeClip.\_y = targetY;  
}**

thanks in advance legion.  
p.s sorry if it is a stupid question lol. :thumb:
