Over the past couple of months I´ve been creating a website and had some problems along the way.  
After lots of tests regarding different issues, I realized the problem in all cases was the same:

I can not get to any MC in \_level0 (main swf) from an external swf´s.  
Which you know, should be easy, something like \_root.MenuMC.\_visible = false; should work  
and it does, sort of.  
It works when I test my movie within flash (ctrl+enter or F12), but it does not work  
when I test in on the browser.

I´ve tried many different ways to do it, like:  
MenuMC  
\_root.MenuMC  
\_level0.MenuMC  
\_parent.MenuMC  
\_parent.\_parent.MenuMC  
\_parent.\_parent.\_parent.MenuMC  
and so on…

Nothing works and I have no idea what´s causing that problem or how to fix it.

Does someone know about this?

Thanks a lot, Marcelo.
