I need to load several swf from several rollover on mcs instances.  
I create an empty mc as follow  
[COLOR=blue]\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,this.getNextHighestDepth);[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=blue]\_root.container.\_x = 140;  
\_root.container.\_y = 580;[/COLOR]  
and then on each mc I use  
[COLOR=blue]t1.onRollOver = function(){  
loadMovie(“salt.swf”,“container”);  
};  
t1.onRollOut = function(){  
unloadMovie(“container”);  
};[/COLOR]  
It works ok, loads, unloads but of course the swfs all load at the same x and y positions. I need each loaded swf to have a different position each time there is a rollover…  
SO SO SO Do I have to create an empty movie clip ( container 2, 3 etc…) for each mc??? I am sure that there must be another way than this fastidious one…and there I need your precious help, advises or guideness to a tuto.  
thanks XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXso much.
