Container with Slide Out Menu

Hello All,

I’m new to AS, and I’m having a bit of trouble.

I am currently working on a website that requires fade-in and fade-out of each page. In order to do this, I used the “Transitions Between External SWFs” tutorial here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm

And the slide-out menu I am using was built using this tutorial: http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/slidingmenu/3.php

On the slide-out menu tutorial, buttons are activated on the main timeline through an action layer using the code:


menu_mc.my1_btn.onRelease = function(){
    images_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
    }

Whereas on the kirupa transitions tutorial, buttons are activated with actionscript for each button using the code:


on (release) {

if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {

_root.currMovie = "main";
container.loadMovie("main.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "main") {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {

_root.currMovie = "main";
container.play();

}

}

}

I have tried accessing the individual buttons, in the Movie Clip used for the slide-out menu, to put in the code directly above but it does not work.

How can I get the buttons to work on the slide out menu? Is there a way to put the second code posted above into the action-layer, rather than for each individual button?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,
