Two possible suggestions:
1) Are you sure you are trying to set the location during the
"startMovie" handler - rather than the "prepareMovie" handler? At
prepareMovie, the sprites havent been created yet, so trying to set
their loc would be ineffective. So if you are not really doing it at
startMovie, do it there.
2) You say that you "grab 3 sprite channels". Is there anything in
these channels (e.g., a 1 pixel or 0 pixel member)? If not, you may
need to add a line like this:
puppetSpite xx, TRUE
For each channel. This will ensure that the sprites are completely
under your control and not the score.
