Hi everyone,  
Im having troble hereI:-)  
I found an AS3 content scroller tutorial, take a look: [http://www.developphp.com/Flash\_tuto…al.php?tid=308](http://www.developphp.com/Flash_tutorials/show_tutorial.php?tid=308), it works fine independently as a stand alone But Now i need to get it to work as an external movie swf within my main swf movie. I have managed to load it into the movie but the panning no longer works. Im guessing this problem is something to do with the levels but i have no idea what. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3617/361341c146e0850c.gif)

any ideas on how i can acheive this?

ps:attachment shows what i am trying to get working.
