why does putting my frames in a m.c. mess everything up

[ultrapyro]

HI! i prepared a dynamic gallery in flash from a file i got off of the movies section. So i want to turn it(as opposed to horizontal), and make it vertical, (plus to make it more manageable) so i put it in a movieclip. Then boom, nothing works at all! can someone explain to me why this happens?! and a way to fix that? thanks!



here are my files

Howdy, I wasn't able to see the file, due to it being 8. but I'm guessing it has something to do with how referencing things in your script. Like not using _root when you originally used them.

Forget putting this into a movieclip... can someone just help me with this other problem (i know i have been asking alot, but then after this i'm done) heres my dillema, i flipped everything around in the updated file, but i can't seem to get the images to tile vertically so that they can scroll... but they all lie on top of one another...heres my files

heres the code so you don't have to download-but i think downloading it would make make solving it a snap.


function moveProjects(_arg1) {
perC = (_arg1/slider.maxW)*100;
newY = (projMaxW/100)*perC;
featuredProjects._x = (5+featuredProjects._x)+(((-newY)-featuredProjects._x)/6);
}
j = 0;
while (j<numItems) {
nN = eval("featuredProjects.thumb"+j);
prevN = eval("featuredProjects.thumb"+(j-1));
if (prevN == undefined) {
nN._x = 0;
} else {
nN._x = prevN._x+160;
}
j++;
}
projMaxW = featuredProjects._width-575;
featuredProjects._visible = true;


THanks!
