onMouseMove breaks when loaded into master movie

1

Hello all, I would like to apologise in advance for my inability to put my problem into words, I always s*ck at that :bored:.

Here goes.

I (like many othes probably) am using a master flash movie (AS2) with a menu that loads external swf files into a container. It is working pretty well, but I’m running into a pretty nasty problem.

This particular external swf that I am loading has a menu made of images that scroll depending on the mouseposition. It is very similar to this:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/upload/samples/519/index.html

Now, when running the swf on its own (not inside the master movie) it works 100%. BUT… seeing as I am going to load this into a master movie that is bigger (about 300px of menus to the left) I get problems with the positioning. I don’t really know what the cause is but the imagemenu seems to think it has a bigger stage now and the images seem to fall behind my master-menu.

I have to find a way to restrict either the positioning of the images, or the mousemovement.

I tried fixing this by adding a square, the exact size of the external swf’s dimensions. hit_mc

hit_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
 if (!hit_mc.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) || w<=hit_mc._width) {
  return;
 }
 // end if 
 var _loc2 = _root._xmouse<64 ? (64) : (_root._xmouse>hit_mc._width-64 ? (hit_mc._width-64) : (_root._xmouse));
 _loc2 = _loc2-64;
 var _loc4 = hit_mc._width-w;
 var _loc3 = Math.floor(_loc2*_loc4/(hit_mc._width-128));
 container_mc.goTo(_loc3,0);
};

MovieClip.prototype.goTo = function (xpos, ypos)
{
    if (this.onEnterFrame != undefined)
    {
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
    } // end if
    var xdone = false;
    var ydone = false;
    this.onEnterFrame = function ()
    {
        if (Math.abs(ypos - this._y) > 5.000000E-001)
        {
            this._y = this._y + (ypos - this._y) / 9;
        }
        else
        {
            ydone = true;
        } // end else if
        if (Math.abs(xpos - this._x) > 5.000000E-001)
        {
            this._x = this._x + (xpos - this._x) / 9;
        }
        else
        {
            xdone = true;
        } // end else if
        if (xdone && ydone)
        {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
            this._x = xpos;
            this._y = ypos;
            this.onGoFinish();
        } // end if
    };
};

Any help would be grately appreciated.
