I have a flash movie that has an internal movie clip, when the various buttons are pressed I want to load a movie in place of this original so I have put this script one of the buttons:

on (press) {  
loadMovie(“movie2.swf”, “\_root.load”);  
}

However, the new movie is not positioned in the correct place ie - instead of it being in the same position as the original MC the top left corner is positioned in the middle of the stage.

Can anyone help?
