movieclip problem...

[unleash]

well, don't really know how to do this....

I want three pictures to load inside an empty movieclip called "container"
now I know how to make the whole thing(the buttons, the movieclip) but I don't know how i can position the empty movieclip, and how I can make the images fit exactly into the empty movieclip......

well this should be the size and the coordinates,
width=350
hieght=350
x=101.1
y=5.9

the code::

this.createEmptyMovieClip("container","100);
my_mc = new MovieClipLoader();
BTN1.onPress = function() {
my_mc.loadClip("picture1.jpg", "container");
};
BTN2.onPress = function() {
my_mc.loadClip("picture2.jpg", "container");
};
BTN3.onPress = function() {
my_mc.loadClip("picture3.jpg", "container");
};

so maybe you can help me out??

well this should be the size and the coordinates,
width=350
hieght=350
x=101.1
y=5.9

hieght should be spelled height

the x/y coordinates i THINK needs an underscore infront of it, enable script assist to see if it does...

but you need to specify what is having the x/y coordinates

so something like this might work

container._x=
container._y=

i'm not sure it's abeen a while since i cracked open flash :s

yeah, I had those underscores and even those "container." thingy's
I will let that be that for a moment( can't get any further)/

but I have a new question, if I want variables to be updated continuesly, how should i do that?? is there an command or so for that?

[agentxi]

that would be beyond my very limited knowledge of flash, I'm assuming you've scoured the kirupa forums as it's a flash based forums...

[unleash]

yes I did completely turn kirupa inside out

couldn't really find the answer, but I do have a solution now!!
what I did was really simple, i just used and

"this.onEnterFrame = function(){}"

and it worked out!!, so thanks for you're help agentxi, well help
