I'm pulling my hair out with this !

I‘m building a website with “movie clip buttons” and a loader this is the first time I done it this way.
so it’s a bit different to how I normally use flash. As all the actionscript is in the first frame of the main timeline. The infomation for each web page is brought in and placed in a movieclip holder and are saved as external SWFs. This is working fine until I tried to incorporate a previous flash project I’ve worked on,

The previous file has an an XML photo gallery which loads the JPGs into another a movieclip holder,
could this be where the problem lies, having one move clip holder inside another ????

Would I be better off loading the external SWF (photogallery) onto the next level of the main SWF
by trying to re adapt the code to one of the buttons.

I can't get my head around this _root business !!

this is part of the code from the photo gallery SWF file and it does refure in parts to" _root" as you can see. Is there a quick fix here.

// Setup some initial variables

// Hide the button that will display a web link
_root.theUrl._visible = 0;

// Hide the image icons in the project loader
// The image icons are simply there to make it easier for you to
// select the movieClip from the main timeline.
_root.img_project.photo_icon._visible = 0;
_root.img_project.img_holder.photo_icon2._visible = 0;

// name of the folder for all thumbs and swf files
_root.imageFolder = "project_files/";

// Create arrays ready for the xml data
namesArray = new Array();
linksArray = new Array();
descriptionsArray = new Array();
filesArray = new Array();

// Load XML doc
objXML = new XML();
objXML.onLoad = loadXML;
objXML.ignoreWhite = true;
// The name of your XML file
objXML.load("ss_flash_folio.xml");

i've sussed it.

about_mc.onRelease = function() {
mcLoader.loadClip("about.swf",myLoader);
stick("about_mc");
unloadMovieNum(2);
}



right I'm not talking code anymore now.
