External swf problem

programming flash

Hello everyone, I am a bit new to the world of externally loaded swf’s and I was wondering if someone could help answer a few questions.

I am trying to load an swf into my main movie, and then access/control the movieclips within that newly loaded swf, but for some reason it is not working. Could someone explain how this can be done? Here is a quick example:


    this.menu.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip_mc",this.menu.getNextHighestDepth()+1); 
   this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.loadMovie("\\menu\\standard.swf",this.menu.getNextHighestDepth()+1); 
   this.menu.myMovieClip_mc._lockroot = true;
   
   trace(this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.option); 
  
   this.menu.myMovieClip_mc.onRollOver = function() { 
  trace("Hello?"); 
   this.bounce(120); 
  }

Okay this code does sucessfully create the movieclip but my onRollOver function does not work, and I cannot access any of the movieClips within myMovieClip_mc such as option, it traces out as undefined.

Thanks for your help
