LoadMovie ActionScript

I'm hoping someone can help with my question.

I'm currently designing a flash intranet for the company I work for. And I
have the background, navigation etc on its own individual fla file. But I wish
to have it so that when staff visit the intranet and click on each button it
uses the actionscript LoadMovie to load an external swf file. I have managed
to do this but it appears on the page as using the x & y coordinates of 0.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order for external swf file to appear at
a fixed point using x & y? And what is the actionscript I need to achieve this?

If anyone can help with any suggestions.

Many thanks.

You need to load the swf into a blank movie clip on the stage. So the
loaded movie replaces the blank movie and it iss placed where ever the
blank movie is positioned:

Hey CelShade.
If you want the content to appear ind the same location each time they press
the menu, I suggest you use the Loader component.
Really easy to use, you just place it on the scene, resize it using the free
transform toll, give it a instanse (fx. myLoader) and in the on (release)
action in the menu, you just give the loader the path to the swf like this:
myLoader.contentPath = "my.swf";

Thats it. :)

Best regards
Alex Zak.
