how come if i put a combobox inside a movie clip and then try to attach the movie dynamically, i cant control its placement?? i mean, it attaches itself to the upperleft corner only, no matter what. and if i check its \_x and \_y properties, they return the values i assigned to them.

the same problem comes with radio buttons. but other components do not affect the movie’s position.

does anyone know why this happens??
