hey im trying to make buttons that are animated… on mouse over have the button animated bigger, on mouse out button shrinks down. i figured out how to do this using MC’s but when i tried to apply my actions script to make them load my Mc’s (pages) nothing happened. here is my action script.

on (rollOver) {  
this.gotoandplay(2);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
this.gotoandplay(21);  
}

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “contact”;  
container.loadMovie(“contact.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “contact”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe\>=container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “contact”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}

what is wrong or am i approaching this all wrong?
