I’m so freakin’ frustrated!!!

OK!!! i have an external movie clip that i want to load to a main clip.  
This external clip have something to do with its root

So my question is:

1. How do u tell the \_root in the external MC to point to its real root? (I’ve search the forum and tried to change \_root to \_parent but it doesnt work)

2. If changing to \_parent doesnt work, does this means that there is something wrong with the empty MC container that i use?

I know there are some pro in this forum so PLEASE HELP ME!!!
