Hi,

I have a problem regarding the x, and y coordinates on a flash project of mine. Whenever I set the x and y coordinates for a movieClip:

```auto

function setPos() {
    with (mc1) {
        _x = 400;
        _y = 300;
    }
}
 

```

The MovieClip never gets sent to the proper coordinates. If anyone could help me, that would be great. Thanks.

Sincerely,

-Joman.
