Keyboard Events and External SWF

OK. So, I finally found a way to exactly position my External SWF on the main stage. Here is the Actionscript I placed on an empty layer:
Actionscript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("externalSWF",1);
externalSWF._x=550;
externalSWF._y=300;
externalSWF.loadMovie("donation.swf");
preloadI=setInterval(preloadF,100);
function preloadF(){
bl=externalSWF.getBytesLoaded();
bt=externalSWF.getBytesTotal();
if(bl>0&&bl>=bt){
clearInterval(preloadI);
externalSWF._width =720;
externalSWF._height=480;
}
}
As you can see, I created an empty movie clip and loaded the SWF into that. Now, here is my question. The external SWF has keyboard events to navigate around it. But, when I load it into this empty movie clip, the keyboard events don't work. Do I need to set the focus? Do I need to import the keyboard events?

How do I do this in Actionscript 2?

this.createEmptyMovieClip("externalSWF",1);
externalSWF._x=550;
externalSWF._y=300;
externalSWF.loadMovie("donation.swf");
preloadI=setInterval(preloadF,100);
function preloadF(){
bl=externalSWF.getBytesLoaded();
bt=externalSWF.getBytesTotal();
if(bl>0&&bl>=bt){
clearInterval(preloadI);
externalSWF._width =720;
externalSWF._height=480;
}
}
