External Movie Targeting the Stage

[alexstudio]

Like a lot of people I'm trying to make the transition from as2 to as3. So I'm going back and relearning all the things I know how to do in as2 like preloaders, events, loading external files, etc.

One of the things I'm trying to do is make a layout realign its self depending on the stage size.

This works fine in its own file but once I have my preloader load the file it breaks. I looked around online and only thing I've found so far is that its a big issue with scope, and I should try to avoid stage and root as much as I can.

So my question is what is the correct way to do this with external files? I'm also have a problem targeting objects or methods on the main time line from external movies, and the other way around too.

Here is the code if helps you understand it:

}else{
