Hi All,

This is my first post and I just wanted to say thanks for such a huge resource, having read most of your tutorials they are all pro, great stuff.

I am really new to Flash, just getting my head into it using the following tutorial:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)

Everything seems fine but the buttons wont work. This is because the main menu isnt on the main time line, its in another .swf (page1\_home.swf) and inside a mc (mc= menu, instance name= menu).

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “team”;  
container.loadMovie(“team.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “team”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe \>= container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “team”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}

My question is simple, how can I fix the button so it works?

Many thanks for your time and effort, totally appreciated.

Jim.
