I only know what works for me. 

Take a text scroller. Most of them, using load movie will load in top 

left. But if you go to the text scroller, and move it, to top right, 

center right, bottom right etc (anywhere) that is where it will load. 

To move it, use edit/select all and drag it top right, bottom left etc 

(anywhere) and save it with save/as-rename it etc. Where you put it 

is where it will load. 


Also an instance of the one you want to load- in the library- of your 

main movie allows putting the instance  anywhere on your main 

movie. 


I usually take the text scrollers, move them around on the stage, 

then with Edit/copy frames/paste frames, paste it in the main 

movie by adding the necessary layers to the main movie and paste 

it in. Hope this helps. AL Lyman
