I have a scrolling text box script that works perfectly fine on its own but when its loaded into my main movie the scrollbar wont function.

Here is the action i'm using:

Actionscript:

// Define the Scroll Area
top = _root.movMask._y;
bottom = _root.movMask._y+_root.movMask._height-_root.movScroller._height;
left = _root.movMask._x;
right = _root.movMask._x+_root.movMask._width;
// Bring all objects to the Scroll Area
_root.movIn._y = top;
_root.movIn._x = left;
_root.movScroller._y = top;
_root.movScroller._x = right;
// When the Scroller is Dragged
_root.movScroller.onMouseDown = function() {
	if (hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
		startDrag("_root.movScroller", false, right, top, right, bottom);
	}
};
// when the Scroller is Released
_root.movScroller.onMouseUp = function() {
	stopDrag();
};
// Update Position every 10 milliseconds
setInterval(Update, 10);
function Update() {
	var ratio = (_root.movIn._height-_root.movMask._height)/(_root.movMask._height-_root.movScroller._height);
	_root.movIn._y = ((_root.movMask._y-_root.movScroller._y)*ratio)+_root.movMask._y;
}

when i changed all the "_root" to "this" it made my movie able to recognize the mask and movie in clip but I just can't get the scroll bar to work.
Does this have something to do with the hitTest?
