Buttons inside MC pulling extrn .swf

Hey I’m using the transition code:

on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “about”;
container.loadMovie(“about.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “about”) {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “about”;
container.play();
}
}
}

And its working great, however, I want to use buttons in MovieClips as well. But for some reason when its click nothing will load, but then it disables the other buttons.

I want to be able to use this button above “about” twice on one page. Only once on the main timeline for easier navigation. And once in a MC for more interactive navigation.

thanks
