macromedia flash sitedesign: If you don't give a new movie clip a location, it will be located at the
upper left corner of the stage, at point 0,0. You just need to give the
new clip a new value for the _x and _y properties.

onLoad = function()
{
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("UI_mc", 1);
UI_mc._x = 300;
UI_mc._y = 400;
}

Set the _x and _y values as you like.

I have a Flash app main screen that is
1024 x 768 and I have a an empty movie clip
where I want to load SWFs

My loaded SWF is much smaller about
300 x 400 and it comes in on the upper
left of the screen

I want it re-positioned in the middle right
How do I do this?

thank you
Code is below.....

//create empty Movie Clip for UI selections
onLoad = function()
{
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("UI_mc", 1);
}

//buttons load movie clips//
about_btn.onPress = function()
{
loadMovie("ABOUTSTRETCH.swf", "UI_mc");
}
