I have a mc that is three mc’s deep. And it has an action on it.

```auto

picture.onRelease = function() {
        large_pic.loadMovie(link[p], 2);
    };

```

large\_pic is a mc on the root of the movie. but i can’t use \_root because this swf gets loaded into another swf.

I’ve tried this and \_root is there any other way that i can do this?
