**EDIT:** [COLOR=red]I put the .fla’s and .swf’s in a zipped folder for someone to download to hopefully help me out…they are towards the bottom of this thread! Thanks![/COLOR]

Ok, I’m trying to load external .swf’s into a container on the main movie, and they work fine till the testimonials.swf loads into the container on the main movie…within the testimonial.swf there is a container called ‘testimonials’ and this is where the content loads into for this particular external .swf … which once this .swf is loaded the content works, but now the main navigation on the main movie doesn’t work … here is my dilema … and here is the code:

**this is the code for a button on the nav of the main movie**

```auto
 
this.onRelease = function(){
 if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
  _root.currMovie = "our_story";
  _root.container.loadMovie("our_story.swf");
 } else if (_root.currMovie != "our_story") {
  if (_root.container._currentframe >= _root.container.midframe) {
   _root.currMovie = "our_story";
   _root.container.play();
  }
 }
}

```

**this is the code that loads the first external .swf on the main movie**

```auto
 
_root.currMovie = "our_story"; 
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf")

```

**this is the code for a button on the external .swf that gets loaded into the container of the main movie**

```auto
 
this.onRelease = function(){
 if (_parent._parent.currMovie == undefined) {
  _parent._parent.currMovie = "testimonial1";
  _parent._parent.testimonials.loadMovie("testimonial1.swf");
 } else if (_parent._parent.currMovie != "testimonial1") {
  if (_parent._parent.testimonials._currentframe >= _parent._parent.testimonials.midframe) {
   _parent._parent.currMovie = "testimonial1";
   _parent._parent.testimonials.play();
  }
 }
}

```

**this is the code that loads the first external .swf into the container ‘testimonials’ on the external .swf that was loaded into the main movie container**

```auto
 
this.currMovie = "test_splash"; 
testimonials.loadMovie(this.currMovie+".swf");

```

Thanks for any help you can provide! :thumb:
