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

[Helen Triolo]

Richard,


You can position the loaded movie, but you have to wait it for to be

loaded before  doing so.  Put a blank frame at the start of the movie to

be loaded (so it doesn't show up in the wrong place while it's loading),

and label the first frame that has  actual content "mstart".  Then this

code should work:


   first frame:

      loadMovieNum ("big.swf", 4);


   next frame (labelled looper):

      if (_level4._framesloaded>=1 && _level4._framesloaded ==

_level4._totalframes) {

         gotoAndPlay ("starthere");

      }


   next frame:

      gotoAndPlay ("looper");


   next frame (labelled starthere):

      _level4._x = 200;  // (throw away that Set Property stuff! it's so

F4 :)

      _level4._y = 100;  

      _level4.gotoAndPlay("mstart");

      stop();            // if you want the main timeline to stop


Regards,

Helen
