FLASH: F4: loadmovie...tests

[Dug]

We have been doing tests trying to figure out how loadmovie actually 

works...

The documentation I have seen says that a movie loaded into a level

containing a movie replaces that movie.


This appears to be accurate if loadmovie merely specifies a level --

placement is not a problem if your loaded movie is the same size as level 0

(see: http://www.squared3.com/test-1 )


However, it appears you can load a movie and replace a target instance

within the same level -- placement in this case appears to be the instance

center point, frustrating but workable

(see: http://www.squared3.com/test-2 )



So, my questions are;

1) If you load a movie to a specified level, and the movie is smaller in

size than level0, the loaded movie is scaled (maintaining proportions) and

centered to fit.

Can you specify where that loaded movie is placed without scaling? ...the

default seems to be 0,0.

(see: http://www.squared3.com/test-3 )


2) Why even use levels if "test-2" is a possibility?


Sorry if I'm being daft here...


Thanks,

Dug
