Flash 4 AS 2 help getting handle to an object on main timeline

Hi

I am working on a project that is built from 3D page flip Flash 4 version.

Each page is a separate flash 4 file loaded in by xml.

I am trying to add a movie clip on some of the pages and needed to turn off the flipping page action so the visitor can click on the video and watch it.

I want to turn on the page flip action once the video is complete or they mouseout of the movie clip.

I was trying to get the handle from main timeline that controls the page flip like so

_root.canflip = true.

Right now if they click on one of the videos all the control functions on main timeline don’t work

ie - can’t turn the page either previous page or next.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tom
