Question, I have a Movie Clip say McA and I insert another Mc called B into McA. McA has the registration point dead center. Therefore McB I believe has its registration point at the top left right. Therefore, how do I move the McB to be exactly over McA.  
Assumption both Movie Clips are the same size, height=39, width=74. Also McB has a image in it. I tried using the \_x & \_y properties to align McB with McA but McB won’t move at all.

I’m I missing something?

Doesn’t help. Not for loading a movie clip. It always loads with the top left corner of the movie in the center of the other.
