Ext.mc position

Hi,
Can someone help.
I am trying to give a position(x &y) to a external swf on the main scene.
Here is what i write: but it doesnt work

loadMovieNum(“im1.swf”, 1);
_x = 300;
_Y = 50;

Thanx

Trying loading it into a movieclip instead so you can position the movieclip like this:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("emptyMC", 1);
	_root.emptyMC._x = 300;
	_root.emptyMC._y = 50;
	_root.emptyMC.loadMovie("im1.swf");

thank you!
But is it still possible to give coordinates to an external swf without having to create an empty mc?

_level1._x=300;
_level1._y=50;

Place that inside the external swf or from any _level or mc.

thank you very much!
