Can you specify the question a bit more please ? I don’t completely understand the thing you’d want to do 🙂

try something like this for the movieclip (which houses the menu) AS:[AS]onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
this.\_x=mainmovie.\_x+(mainmovie.\_width/2);  
this.\_y=mainmovie.\_y+(mainmovie.\_height/2);  
}[/AS]  
basically, you’re just trying to fix the \_x and \_y locations to the \_x and \_y positions of the main movieclip. but your AS is going to change based on the registration points of your movieclips. it would probably be easiest to have the registration point of your main movieclip in the center and for the menu mc, make the registration point the point at which you want to attach the menu mc to the main mc.

the AS above is for attaching the menu mc to the top right of the mainmovie mc. the registration point for the mainmovie mc is centered vertically and horizontally.
