Targeting objects between swf's

So i have multiple swf’s that are within a stage. The main swf (index.swf) has a menu and once clicked it makes another swf to display. A common issue i’m having is that for the other swf’s i have animations which work within that swf but when i run from index they don’t work.

I know this is because of the targeting of the object but how do make this work?

example on 5.swf i have a button that has an action, when a mouse cursor goes over it a photo fades in and out on it, and that works when i run 5.swf.

when i run index this animation does not work, can i get some insight into this?

Thank you,
