Load movie from library

Question

is it possible to load a mc from the library on to the stage with specific coordinates, without uning a mc to load it in to? Simply something like this:
load the menuMc on the stage at x = 200 and y = 300;
i called the identifier menuMcAs

Answer 1

ok i tried about everything i know..(which isnt a lot)
i think the correct way to write it is this:
var emptyMc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
emptyMc.attachMovie("menuMcAs", "menuMc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:400, _y:100});
menuMc (instance name of the menu mc in the library)
menuMcAs (linkage id of the menuMc in the library)
emptyMc (nothing. i should be created with this code...?)
and i put this line at the very top of my code, which is in a .as file.
i cant see the menu!!! its not working.
any ideas?
btw: i did NOT create an empty movie clip on stage...
EDIT
I tried this too:
var emptyMc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.attachMovie("menuMcAs", "menuMc", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:400, _y:100});
still nothing..
EDIT 2
after reading the help files, i have a feeling i'm only creating a mc, but that i'm not placing it on stage...??
