\_level\<B\>#\</B\>.\_x = 100;  
\_level\<B\>#\</B\>.\_y = 300;

Obviously \<B\>#\</B\> is the level number you are loading to.

You can’t manipulate a movie until after it is fully loaded in. Being that the movie doesn’t get called in at the same time you call it, you can’t set it’s position yet.

My suggestion is to add [AS]\_level1.\_x = 100;  
\_level1.\_y = 100;[/AS] to the first frame of the movie you are loading in, that way the code gets fired after the movie is loaded in.
