Attatching One Clip Onto Another

[Insane Knux]

Ok, I have this gun, and it's in a movie clip.
And then I have another gun, and it's not in the movie clip.
And I can't make it where the gun outside the movie clip, is the same X and Y position as the gun inside the movie clip.
Can someone help?
If needed, here's my code:
onClipEvent(load){
_x = _root.gun._x
_y = _root.gun._y
}

Someone please help, I've been trying to fix this for 2 hours...

I would help, but I have no idea what you are talking about. If you make it clearer or maybe attach a .fla file, I will try and help.

Ok, here it is:

EDIT:
I took it down because it seems no one's getting what I mean.

Here, I'll make it simpler:
I have two guns, and one is inside a movie clip. I guess I could use a Tree for example...
-Stage
---gun

---MC
|
|-gun

So basicly, There's a movieclip. And in that movie clip there's a gun. But outside the movie clip, on the main stage, all by it's lonesome self, is another gun.
I'm trying to make the gun on the outside, have the same position as the gun on the inside. Get it? Or did I just make it harder?
