I'm using Flash 4 so I'm trying to use the second option.


A couple of things I'm not sure about, I created a target of the same

dimensions as the smaller movie I want to play, and then scaled it so

that this scaling would be passed onto the movie.


Now, I'm noticing two things happen so far:


1. when I load the movie into my rectangle target, the upper left corner

of the movie is placed at the center of the target. Kind of strange, is

this right?, for the moment I have just been moving the target so that

the movie ends up where I want it.


2. objects in the loaded movie run outside its normal frame/window. I

have got around this by using a layer mask. Again, I'm not sure if this

is what I should expect or not.


are there any examples or tutorials out there on this, so far I've only

really done straight animation type stuff, and all these levels and

targets etc. are getting me a bit confused.
