I have my main movie which loads each separate movie as an external SWF. In the main movie, when I click on a button (services), it loads an external SWF (“services\_2.swf”) movie into an empty container (container):

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “services\_2”;  
container.loadMovie(“services\_2.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “services\_2”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe \>= container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “services\_2”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}

Once the “services\_2” loads, I click on a button (music videos) within the “services\_2” movie:

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “Music\_Videos”;  
container\_1.loadMovie(“Music\_Videos.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “Music\_Videos”) {  
if (container\_1.\_currentframe \>= container\_1.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “Music\_Videos”;  
container\_1.play();  
}  
}  
}

At this point it doesn’t load the next movie “Music\_Videos”  
When I publish and preview “services\_2” by itslef, and click on Music Videos, it loads it. But when i publsih my main timeline, click on “services\_2” it loads that SWF, but won’t load the next one linked to “Music\_Videos.”

There’s something wrong with my code somewhere, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me please?
