[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]Hi, I am trying to load external swf files like the tutorial here [/size][/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2][http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)[/size][/font]  
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2], BUT in the swf’s are buttons. Buttons in the movie files that are seperate of course from your main timeline. My problem is this…

I have external swf’s. These swf’s consist of an intro, outro, and a midframe. These work fine if there are not any other actions besides these…

\*\*1st frame is:  
\*\*  
midframe = 50;

**middle frame from above is:**

stop();

\*\*Last frame is:  
\*\*  
\_root.container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie+".swf");

The problem is if I try and put buttons with action script, the movie only loads, I cant get it to finish with the outro when I load a different movie. My site is [[color=#0000ff]http://callerten.com,[/color]](http://callerten.com,/) and ignore the intro and the music… sorry. But just pretend I have buttons in the external swf’s with a few actions like:

gotoAndPlay(1);

and some other siple actions between the 1st frame and the mid-frame. How can I keep my buttons and everything else but still keep the intro and outro in the swf. I hope this is not confusing. I am only wanting to add buttons with actions to the external swf movies. Thank you.[/size][/font]
