I’ve brought this up before but I have never been able to solve this problem. I’ve spent so many hours trying to figure out how to place an entire .swf in X and Y coordinates so that the movie has a nice background (custom graphic design).

Is there anyone who could give me a somewhat detailed how to. I’ve made these before but I end up going through and changing EVERY single frame to the X Y coordinate and spending days on what should be an easy step.

I make the demo using demo builder, export it to make a .swf. Then I place the background I want in Flash. Where would I start clicking to bring the swf to X: 10 Y: 10 ???

Thanks a ton for any help!
