This._root = LOST HELP IS NEEDED

Within main movie, there is a movie clip containing sound controls and a display for name of track. Everything works fine except the text display.

Main Movie -
soundControls_mc-
display_txt
other controls (all working)

Partial Code:


MovieClip.prototype.songStarter = function(file, name) {
 this.sound_obj.loadSound(file, true);
 this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  if (this.sound_obj.position>0) {
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
   this._root.display_txt.text = name;
  } else {
   this._root.display_txt.text = "loading...";
  }
 };

I have remade this in a whole new flash document with everything on maintime line and everything works fne controls, display_txt actually displays. However when I added it to Main movie within its own MC the text does not get displayed. Any ideas?
Thanks
