Hi Dug,

This is the standard way of setting up load movies by making them the

same size and using areas of that level for its purpose. If you go to

Flash Central all the movies are the same size but the menu level is

blank on the right and other movies are blank where the menu is. This is

extremely easy to set uo with Guide layers.

This is correct.

This is correct and is why you should normally use movies of the same

size. You set your offset inside the movie.

Because Levels are very powerful and can easily be parked, unparked and

unloaded.
