HELP ME PLEASE! :pac:

okay, so i tried to use the trasition between externally loaded SWF’s using this code for my buttons:

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

}

note: Grid\_Projects.swf is the movie i load into my main movie.

now eveything works fine. and Grid\_Projects loads perfectly to the midframe i specified. but the thing is. i also try to load another externally loaded swfs into that midframe in Grid\_Projects and those are the one that don’t load. I used this code:

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“cafe.swf”);  
}

can someone tell me why it won’t load? THANKS!!!:nose:
