Hey,

So basically, I have a main movie, with buttons for each section (such as home, portfolio and so on). Each button externally loads each section swf into a container. That works fine, all the sections load in and out perfectly.

Now, I want to load some more swfs (like projects in the portfolio section) into the swf thats been loaded from the main movie. Becuase I put my buttons inside movie clips (so that when you roll over the button, the animation finishes if you roll over another half way through), I had to use the tellTarget("/") script to bring it back, but it dosent work, it seems to load the movie into the main movie!

How can I fix this? Iv tried loading it into a different container symbol in the main movie but its still dosent work ☹

Thanks alot.
