First off, excellent tutorial, the only one of its type that actually worked for me.

I have a main movie, whose image gallery is an external SWF file, the mainframe of which is Kirupa’s tute.

I’ve called in the external SWF using:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“workSWF”, 14);  
workSWF.loadMovie(“work/catagories/Catagories\_Advertising.swf”, 14);  
workSWF.\_x = 15  
workSWF.\_y = 15

Unfortunately, the linked images are off center from what I position them. Even the \_x, \_y trick isn’t working. Registration point has been moved as well, still nothing.

Also, the buttons to flip through the images don’t work. But all this works well if I use loadMovieNum () function.

I would post the website up, but its pretty large considering this company I’m interning at has a huge portfolio. The total file is about 30 megs (including movie clips, images, and false starts.)

Thanks in advance!
