RE: [flasher] How to use loadMovie to position a movie specifically?

[Mats Persson]

Richard,


LoadMovies can be done in two ways.


1. Load movie into Level


If this is what you want to do the best, fastest and easiest way is to

create another movie of the same dimensions and background colour as your

_level0 movie and then position whatever you wish to position in the correct

position in that movie. That way, your new content will end up in the

correct position when loaded on top of level0, (please note, the background

will be transparent in all subsequent levels of load movies, but you can put

a graphics in a layer to block your bottom layer content).


2. Load Movie into MovieClip


Create an empty movieclip (or put a guide layer into it for easier

positioning) and create your LoadMovie to the size of this MovieClip and

then load the movie into this "target" MC.



Hope that helps you,


Mats

specifically?



I was struggling with loadMovie to position a movie on the main movie. I

tried to use setProperty after I loaded the movie but was unable to get

it into a position I wanted.... An help with the code. Set property

looked like it needed an "On" event like "release".......



loadMovie("big.swf", _level4, );

setProperty("big.swf", _x  = 200);


Thanks.....

Richard....
