.swf output, need help with ElementSelected

Hi,

I'm making a flash viewer to display .swf maps from mapserver.

Currently I have one swf that loads the mapserver swf and then loads a
second swf containing navigation tools. I've successfully made pan/zoom and
reset map functions and now I'm working on a function to display Element's
attributes in  a text box.

The problem I'm having is getting flash to recognize mouse rollovers or
clicks on the maps elements.

I found some articles that suggest using a function called ElementSelected
but thus far I've been ubale to get it to respond on mouse events.

Right now the Action Script(in the navigation tools .swf) looks like this...

ElementSelected = function(level, element, action)
{
    trace("test1");
 if (action == 3) //rollover
 {
            trace("test2");
        }
}

Neither of these traces fire.
I can successfully trace the arrays containing the element info.
