I meet a strange thing here.  
I have thumbs placed on the stage. I create an empty mc to load swf. But my thumbs disappear from the stage when I test the movie ( html or swf) if I settle the \_ and \_y position of the empty mc.  
Question : why the emptymovieclip positions affect the positions of my thumbnails ???  
Sorry but I can not understand this.  
Thanks
