hi guys!

i have created a scrolling movie clip that works great on its own!

But when its loaded into a movie clip onto my flash base file, it doesnt work.

I know the problem, itss because the word “\_root” is used in the action script in the scrolling movie, so i replaced it with “this” and it still didnt work.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Thanks!

( the button to scroll the movie is the tiny arrow at the bottom )

=)
