Re: FLASH: setting x&y of swf file

[julie]

thanks for the reply. however, I don't think that's what I need, either that

or I don't understand.


I have about 30 different swf files that were made for 600x350.  I don't

want them to all be in one fla file, because it would be way to big to run.


I now need to be able to call them using the load movie command into an swf

that is 750x550. When an swf is called it automatically loads it into the

top left corner and I want them to center themselves to the bottom middle.

This is going to be all in one presentation off of a cd, so I don't want to

pop up a new window for the smaller files and since there are so many of

them I don't want to have to resize every swf mainly because their placement

needs to be exact and I am afraid that moving everything around will ruin my

project (which needs to be done this weekend--so I don't have much time for

QA....)


I know that using the set property action enables you to set the _x and _y.

I tried it and it didn't work, I am assuming this is because I don't know

how to use this crazy coding language yet.


thanks again for your reply
