Really annoying scrollpanes

ok, i have a flash file with a scrollpane. into this scrollpane i have loaded an external swf. how would i be able to get the external swf to change between frames when you click on a button within in it?

it works perfectly as a stadalone file but whenever i load it into the scrollpane it stops working

can someone please help?

much obliged

edit: i just realised, this might eb the wrong forum to post this in, should it be posted in the “flash mx 2004” forum?
