Swf loaded in Container won't work

Hi all,
I built a variation of Comic Geeks easing menu system (http://www.actionscript.org/resource...tem/Page1.html) which works fine just by itself.
After loading it into a Container of my main movie, the buttons refuse to function though.
Since I’m not a pro my best guess is that it might have to do with the actionscript?

Most likely the _root reference or the coordinates of the loaded movie don’t work, but it doesn’t react at all.

I’d apreciate any help on this.

Here’s the code from the loaded movie:

//during the time the movie loads, we set the current
//position of the content at 0,0; thus showing the
//HOME section of the site.
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
div = 5; //This value just determines the speed
//the transistions.
}
//Here we constantly check for new values of
// _x and _y. These values are determined by endX and endY.
//We divide the difference by div to have an value that
//continues to change until the equation is true.
//Try changing the ‘enterFrame’ with ‘Load’ to see the
//difference. You would then have to click on a button
//several times before the transistion completes.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/div;
_y += (endY-_y)/div;

//We then use the onRelease method to determine the
//new values of endX and endY. This is a new feature
//in Flash MX.
_root.home.onRelease = function() {
endX = 0;
endY = 0;
};
_root.works.onRelease = function() {
endX = -700;
endY = 0;
};
_root.skills.onRelease = function() {
endX = -1400;
endY = 0;
};

Many thanks!
