Small problem with external swf's in container

i’m working on a project that has a main movie with a container MC that loads external swfs. The problem is, the external swf’s contain scripts with _root and(from what i can tell) looks to be causing funky problems… I’m assuming that _root is trying to access the main movie instead of the loaded movie… correct? :puzzle:

for instance: i have a caption hover script that works when external movie plays by itself but when loaded into the main moive it does not work…

what would i change _root in the external swf’s to? I was a little confused with this because Ive never really had this problem before.

hope i made myself clear enough
