This is probably really obvious but I can’t figure it out being an amateur and I can’t find any more posts on it.  
I want to load in 2 external swf’s into 2 seperate containers on the \_root timeline, where the buttons are also located. Each container has it’s own buttons. I have used the instance names container and container2. I have also tried changing the currMovie var to currSub for container2.  
The problem is the swf’s will always load into container and not container2. Any ideas on what i need to change?
