external loaded .swf, referencing a btn inside another movie.

The file is called "mainmap3.swf". Within that movie, I have a frame that holds a mc called "santa_mc" which then holds a btn called "one". So, here is the chain - _root.mybox.santa_mc.one In my main movie, I have another mc called "find" with a checkbox component called "barbecue". So the chain here is - _root.find.barbecue I'm trying to figure out how to reference the btn "one" from the btn "barbecue" Here is my thinking - _root.mybox.santa_mc.one But that isn't working. Is there a different way to reference a btn inside a loaded .swf?
