Problem targeting the _root of a loaded MC

programming flash
1

Hi Everybody,

I have the code below inside movie A. The code is to duplicate a movieclip. I am loading this movie A into my main movie B. I am trying to substitute the _root targeting in the code so it affects the duplicated movieclips in my movie A, but so far when I substitute the _root by THIS, the code does not work.

Does anyone know a good way to solve this?

Thank you very much for your help.


function makeGrid() {
     _root.button_mc._visible = false;
     clearInterval(grid_id);
     var name:String = "holder" + k + "_mc";
     button_mc.duplicateMovieClip("holder" + k + "_mc", k);
     _root[name]._x = xStart + (k % 3) * distance;
     _root[name]._y = yStart + Math.floor(k / 3) * distance;
     //SCRIPT for the functionality of the button mc
     _root[name].ID = k;
     _root[name].selected_b = false;
     _root[name].onRollOver = function() {
          this.gotoAndStop("Over");
     };
     _root[name].onRollOut = function() {
          if (this.selected_b == false) {
               this.gotoAndStop("Up");
          } else {
               this.gotoAndStop("Selected");
          }
     };
     _root[name].onPress = function() {
          _parent.projectName2_txt.text = title[this.ID];
          _parent.imagePlace_mc.imageHolder_mc.loadMovie(image[this.ID]);
          _parent.imagePlace_mc.imageHolder_mc._alpha = 0;
          description_lv.load(description[this.ID]);
          _parent.projectDescription2_txt.scroll = 1;
          this.gotoAndStop("Selected");
          this.selected_b = true;
     };
}
