Here’s the code from a button that controls a movie clip on the main page:

```auto

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

```

The code works fine when the button is on the main timeline. However, I have a new complicated rollover button which is no longer on the main timeline. How do I change the path to the “container” movie clip?

Thanks-
