Complex Button Problem

I followed the tutorial(Complex Buttons) on Kirupa, and it went well, though I’m having problems when editing the code.

Instead of the getURL function I put in a loadMovie function to load a swf into a movie clip as content. Obviously it didnt work.

I then deleted that portion of the code, brought the content movieclip into the navigation movieclip and place the on.release code on the button movieclip, rather than inside. Still didnt work. I decided to to apply it to the frame, changing this. to buttonName. That didnt work either.

Heres what I have.
movie.swf > navigationMovie(has navigation fade in) > navButtons(4 movie clips, each with complex button code)

I placed the movieclip in navigationMovie, and it still isnt working.

Is it because data cant be transfered from movie clips to eachother? I know the explanation is very vague/rough…but I’m not the best explainer.
