AS2 flashCS3 - Load Movie Positionig Help. (Noob)

Hi there all.
I’m 1st year student and i was asked for a flash site project presenting skateboards and snowboards.

I created my 3d skates, skined them, exported them as avi and converted them to swf.
I then imported them to my .fla using a container with this code:
loadMovie(“sk1.swf”, “container”); //targeted

the .swf file loads and sticks to the upper left corner of my flash.
i tried:
set(sk1.swf._y, 25);
set(sk1.swf._x, 230);

//maybe this was something stupid but forgive my noobidity.

Can i somehow reposition the .swf where i want it, or better center it inside the container?

Thanks for your time.
