I had this posted in another section, but i thought it fit better here. I hope someone could help me with this, im not the best a actoinscript

So i have a swf called index  
there is a movieclip and a container on there  
the container holds the content  
the movie clip is a bar, and has its own container, which is where the buttons are called to  
the buttons are a seperate swf, that is called into the container on the bar.  
when the button is clicked, i want to load a movie into the other container, which holds the content.  
here is the code

on (release) {

if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {

\_root.currMovie = “faith”;  
container.loadMovie(“faith.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “faith”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe \>= container.midframe) {

\_root.currMovie = “faith”;  
container.play();

}

}

}

now what do i use insted of \_root.currMovie to load it into the other container.

cheers
