Hi All,

Im trying to load an external swf and place it at certain co-ordinates on the screen when i press a button.

It works fine for me when i load it in without any button press ie,

```auto

stop();
loadMovieNum("viewer.swf",1);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  _level1._x = 90;
  _level1._y = 25;
 
  _level1._xscale=100;
  _level1._yscale=100;
}

```

no problems here, but when i try it on a button release it doesnt work. here is my code:

```auto

on (release) {
 loadMovieNum("viewer.swf",1);
 this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  _level1._x = -90;
  _level1._y = -25;
 
  _level1._xscale=100;
  _level1._yscale=100;
}
}

```

can anyone dig me out of this hole???
