flash actionscript: I am using the following script to load a dynamic jpg picture into my page.
Works great, BUT, where do I add the XY coordinates in this statement? I need
to control the pictures top left origin. Thanks
_root.createEmptyMovieClip('mc1',1); mc1.loadMovie('J4Fpic.jpg');

I tend to do it after the load movie.

The movieclip will have repositioned itself by the time the jpeg has loaded.

Hope this helps.

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mc1",1);
mc1.loadMovie("J4Fpic.jpg");
mc1._x = your desired horizontal position
mc1._y = your desired verticle position

_root.createEmptyMovieClip('mc1',1);
mc1._x = whatever;
mc1._y = whatever;
mc1.loadMovie('J4Fpic.jpg');

You may also need a preloader. The image will not load immediately so you will
need to wait. Especially for other properties like width and height. I know you
didn't specifically ask about those, but sometimes people want to do things
like center or scale a loaded image before they set the xy, and in that case
you have to wait until the whole thing is loaded. There are lots of posts here
about preloaders so check them out. Also if you are using MX04, then I
recommend the MovieClipLoader instead of loadMovie.
