Code not working unless on Main Timeline

Never had this issue before.

I grabbed this sliding menu from a flash database and modified it to my need, the entire thing works great while its inside the original file on the maintimeline, but if I put it into another fla or MC it stops working. It only works on the 1st frame of the main timeline. So I tried to have my main movie externally load the SWF, and that didnt work either, the loaded SWF just doesnt react.

I included the FLA below, it was too big to send through Kirupa.

Anyone see what I’m missing?
