Hello!  
I am having trouble with making this site.  
I made the main swf that will contain links to load all the other external swf’s. That part works fine, it loads the other swf’s and stuff. The external swf i am making has the following code on a bar on the bottom:

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if((_root._xmouse<= 920) && (_root._ymouse<=450))
	{
		_root.bar._x -= 3
	}
	else
	{
		_root.bar._x -= 0
	}
}

```

this works fine when i test the movie by itself. But when i load this movie as a external swf it doesn’t work. it loads but the bar at the bottom doesn’t move.  
I think it is doing this because the \_xmouse and \_ymouse are now looking at the main movie clip and not the external movie. Is there any way to redirect the \_xmouse and \_ymouse properties to the external movie clip? I.e. something like \_root.details.\_xmouse ( where details is the name of the external movie clip)?  
Thankyou!  
P.S.  
if you need the fla’s tell me.
