In my main fla file I am using:

[COLOR=Red]loadMovie(“thestones.swf”, “images”);  
stop();[/COLOR]

and in thestones.fla I am using code to make a scrollable nav

[COLOR=Red]onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.scrollerDirection = “left”;  
}[/COLOR]

My problem is that when the clip is loaded, it will no longer scroll. Is my problem that the root is no longer the base when it is loaded into a new swf? Many thanks for any help. 🍺

Main swf:

Here is the tutorial I got the scroller from:

</div>

```auto

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.images.scrollerDirection = "left";
}

```

If that doesn’t work post the main fla and the external swf and we’ll see what we can do.
