MouseX position problem in container loaded .swf

Question

Hi All,
Maybe looking at me in the face but I am having trouble tracing mouseX position.
I have an intro .swf that plays and once finished creates a container and loads main movie in that container.
In the main movie I have an infinite menu where the speed is controlled by mouseX.
Standalone the main movie works perfectly but as soon as I load into container I lose the mouseX.
Below is 'some' of the code that sits in Main movie.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveGallery);.........
function moveGallery(e:Event):void {
var speed:Number = -(0.02 * (startpage_nav_mc.mouseX - centerX));..........
I tried adding stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveGallery) to see if that helped follow mouse once loaded into container. Nothing happened!!
Thanks in Advance for any thoughts.

Hi Ned,
Just didn't wont to bother anyone with too much code. After debugg it is the centerX that is the problem. See below.
How do I need to define it?
Chris
//Save the horizontal center
var centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth / 2;
//Save the width of the whole gallery
var galleryWidth:Number = startpage_nav_mc.startpage_nav_container_mc.nav_mc.width;
//Speed of the movement (calculated by the mouse position in the moveGallery() function)
//Add an ENTER_FRAME listener for the animation
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveGallery);
function moveGallery(e:Event):void {
     //Calculate the new speed
     var speed:Number = -(0.02 * (mouseX - centerX));
     //var speed:Number = -(0.02 * (startpage_nav_mc.mouseX - centerX));
     //Update the x coordinate
     startpage_nav_mc.startpage_nav_container_mc.nav_mc.x+=(speed/1.3);
     //Check if we are too far on the right (no more stuff on the left edge)
     if (startpage_nav_mc.startpage_nav_container_mc.nav_mc.x>0) {
          //Update the gallery's coordinates
          startpage_nav_mc.startpage_nav_container_mc.nav_mc.x= (-galleryWidth/2);
     //Check if we are too far on the left (no more stuff on the right edge)
     if (startpage_nav_mc.startpage_nav_container_mc.nav_mc.x<(-galleryWidth/2)) {
          //Update the gallery's coordinates
          startpage_nav_mc.startpage_nav_container_mc.nav_mc.x=0;
