loadMovieNum("movie.swf",1);

How do I load a .swf movie in an existing .fla and place it defining _x and _y positions accurately? Can anyone please help me? I am very new to forums and very new to flash actionscript2.0. THANKS! Hope its not too confusing.

It's pretty easy, you can actually make an empy movie clip that will load in a .swf on release of a button.

Check this out:

Press f8 to create an empty movie clip. Don't put anything in it. Give it an instance name of shell.

On a button(whever it is) add this code.

Code: Select all

 
on (release)
{
shell.loadMovie ("test.swf", "/dog");
}

Rename your .swf as appropriate to whatever yours is called.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi Sgaspar11! Sorry - I really must be doing something wrong. I can load a .swf in a .swf movie on the click of a button but my problem is this:
my movie document size is 800 X 600 and I want to load another .swf in it whose size is 600 X 400 at precise _x and _y position is there any way I could do it? Thanks. Sorry for pestering you!

Add something like this on the button:

_root.shell._x = 300; //position wherever needed.
_root.shell._y = 300;

Keep in mind, if you presentation is 800x600 - 0, 0 is the top left corner.
