Since you are using loadMovie() you can’t use \_root, because then it is taking you to the \_root of the movie you loaded it into.

So in this case you will need to change all the \_roots into “this” (without quotes).

I posted a .zip file so you can see what I mean. Just check out the updates.fla file. Also, I fixed an error in your index.fla file. You had the loadMovie action for your navigation on your loadclip and on a frame.
