I have a button that loads a .swf in a scene. The problem is it load into a default position. How do I get it to load to a location of my choosing? If it is action script, could anyone help with the code, I dont know AS very well. Thanks

for example
```php
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",1000);
mc.loadMovie("test.swf");
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var l=mc.getBytesLoaded();
var t=mc.getBytesTotal();
if (l && l>= t){
mc._x=?;
mc._y=?;

This is what my code looks like after I have added the script given:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum(“resume.swf”, 1);
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“mc”,1000);
mc.loadMovie(“resume.swf”);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var l=mc.getBytesLoaded();
var t=mc.getBytesTotal();
if (l && l\>= t){
mc.\_x=255.8;
mc.\_y=68.3;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}}
+++ It still does not load to the X, Y coordinates. Resume.swf is the swf file that I am trying to load to the specific position in my Scene. Can anyone help me out with this— THANK YOU so much in advance!

mc.\_y=68.3;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}}

When I put the code in the button does now bring up the resume.swf at all. I am stumped.
