Programmatically changing the Front Panel Origin from another VI in LV 8.6

I have a conversion problem between LV 8.2.1 and LV 8.6.

My main VI has a large front panel with three main viewing areas on it.

Each view fills the viewable screen and I programmatically scroll using pushbuttons and the FP.Origin Property in a subVI. 

 

I use a VI Reference to the main VI in the subVI along with a FP.Origin Property Node. 

 

This subVI is called "Front Panel Scroller.vi" and manages the shifting of the main VI front panel origin between the three views,

 

I am having problems recreating this in LV 8.6.  I can't seem to reestablish a reference to the main VI.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

This will be hard to solve without seeing any code.

Why do you change view by setting the origin? If you use a tab control, with
hidden tabs, it will be a lot easier.
