Button wont work when loaded as external swf

1

i am using Kirupa’s Transitions Between External SWFs tutorial to design my site. One of the external swfs i am using has a pic scroller with thumbnails, but when a thumbnail is clicked, nothing happens. When I load the pic scroller movie by itself, it works fine.

check out these links to see what i am talking about…
(only the first two thumbnails of pic scroller have actions)

movie with transitions

pic scroller alone

The actionscript that is actually on the thumbnail button is:

on (release) {
loadMovie(“detective.swf”, “_root.content”);
}

i am guessing there is something wrong with that _root part? Also, you have to click on 4 movie clips before you actually get to the button, so that might be causing some problems.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

hello wepeel81381…
on (release) {
loadMovie(“detective.swf”, “content”);
}
u no need a “_root” since the movie clip is internal.
Maybe u 1 ur movie load in the mc in the right place so u put “_root” there.If that is the reason, u can try 2 write as :
_root.loadMovie(“detective.swf”, “content”);

Hope my reply can solve ur problem:bandit:
