First off you have to make sure that both your main movie and your external movie have the same dimension, otherwise this won't work properly. You have two options. First is to load your external swf into a positioned movieclip on the stage, and second is to position your level using actionscript.

First Code:

on(release){
loadMovieNum("loadmovie.swf", target_mc)
}

Second Code:

on(release){
loadMovieNum("loadmovie.swf", 1)
_level1._x = 300;
_level2._y = 250;
}
This same positioning can be used with your movie clip but you just have to change the _level1 to the instance name of your movieclip.

Hope this helps

you could load the movie into a movie clip, then the top left corner of your loaded move starts at the registration point, it gives you much more control that way. It will then act the same as a normal movie clip. To do that

URL : mymovie.swf

location : Select "Target" from the drop down.

for the target select the movie clip you want to import it into.

you have to label the instance of the movie yr importing into, and the timeline of that movie will be replaced with the movie yr loading in.

Try this instead, sorry I have to copy things from the actionscript window just sometimes I'm lazy:

Try this:
loadMovie("load1.swf", target_mc);
target_mc._x = 323;
target_mc._y = 188;


Hope this helps

yeah.. the "Num" is the trick

loadMovie(); for loading swfs into targets
loadMovieNum(); for loading swfs into levels.

same thing with variables.

loadVariables();
loadVariablesNum();
