FlashCS3/9 - Really need help with transitions between swfs

programming flash
1

I’ve read the tutorial here about the transitions between swfs. This tutorial is exactly what I want to do with my flash website, which is my school project by the way. However, I really need help with it. Currently I can bring up the first page. In other words, when I click on a button for the first time, the page comes up correctly. But when I click on the other buttons afterwards, nothing happens. The currently opened page just stays there, not playing the outro. I need serious help with this. Thanks for any help in advance. Here is the coding for two of my five buttons:

home_btn.onRelease=function(){
_root.footerAnimated_mc.play();
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “home”;
_root.container_mc.loadMovie(“home.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “home”) {
if (_root.container_mc._currentframe >= _root.container_mc.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “home”;
_root.container_mc.play();
}
}
}

characters_btn.onRelease=function(){
_root.footerAnimated_mc.play();
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “characters”;
_root.container_mc.loadMovie(“characters.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “characters”) {
if (_root.container_mc._currentframe >= _root.container_mc.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “characters”;
_root.container_mc.play();
}
}
}
