Centering an external SWF in a SWF

[honeyholz]

Sorry if that sounds confusing but I'm trying to centre an external swf inside another one. For some reason the registration point is set to top left hand corner. I can't go changing the external file co-ordinates because Im using them elsewhere and they are central.
The code I'm using to load the movie is;

on (release) {
gotoAndStop (framenumber);
{
loadMovieNum ("movie.swf", 1);
}}

Any help would be appreciated I've had a look at a few forums but they seem to be all different and aren't working for me

Load the movie into a movie object instead of root. You can then position that movie object where you want it.

Do you mean creating a window MC where the swf can be played??

I've solved it! Firstly I created a movie with the registation point in the top left hand corner then I positioned the invisible movie slightly left from the other one and half way down. Then I added some code in a new key frame on a separate layer, I gave the buttons instance names as mentioned below e.g: home_button

var home_select = new Color (home_text);
var technology = new Color (technology_text);
var corporate = new Color (corporate_text);
var products_select = new Color (products_text);
var markets_select = new Color (markets_text);
var events_select = new Color (events_text);
var news_select = new Color (news_text);
var partners_select = new Color (partners_text);
var casestudies_select = new Color (casestudies_text);
var opportunities_select = new Color (opportunities_text);
var contactus_select = new Color (contactus_text);

//navigation code start
this.home_button.onPress= function ()
{loadMovie ("home.swf",sub_window);
home_select.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);
technology_select.setRGB(0x000000);
corporate_select.setRGB(0x000000);
products_select.setRGB(0x000000);
markets_select.setRGB(0x000000);
events_select.setRGB(0x000000);
news_select.setRGB(0x000000);
partners_select.setRGB(0x000000);
casestudies_select.setRGB(0x000000);
opportunities_select.setRGB(0x000000);
contact_select.setRGB(0x000000);
sitemap_select.setRGB(0x000000);
;}The only code on the button was on (release) {
gotoAndStop (frame number here where other movie has finished);
}

That last bit of code avoids the movie over lapping.
