Question about attachMovie

[The Other Mike G]

I've learned how to put Movie Clips on my stage using the attachMovie command, but they always appear in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get them to appear in a predetermined area of the stage, without having to edit the Movie Clip itself??

mike,

attachMovie will return a reference to the newly attached clip:


mc = _root.attachMovie("sqr","sqr1",1);

mc._x = 300;

mc._y = 300;
that should do what you're looking for.
