Hi there!

I’ve just successfully followed the tutorial on transitions [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)

As a bit of a junior at AS I am struggling to work out how to now use this code in one of the child swfs. ie if I wanted to use this code within a loaded child swf how can I modify the code? I have it all set up with a main swf and a few external swfs to load into this parent.

Is it just a case of changing the \_root.currMovie to the parent movie?

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “1”;  
container.loadMovie(“1.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “1”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe\>= container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “1”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}

Thanks for your help in adv.

Andy
