    Thank you very much! Everything is working!

    As an example:

    var item = selection[0],
        bakupSymbol = item.symbol,
        newSymbol = activeDocument.symbols.add(item, SymbolRegistrationPoint.SYMBOLTOPLEFTPOINT);
    // replace symbol
    item.symbol = newSymbol;
    // set position
    var position = [
            item.left,
            item.top
        ];
    // restore symbol
    item.symbol = bakupSymbol;
    newSymbol.remove();
    alert(position);
