I posted earlier but am not having any luck. I am trying to load 2 external swf’s into mc’s container and container2 on \_root with their own buttons on \_root. The buttons load the swf’s into both the containers or just one, sometimes the wrong one. I think it is the \_root.currMovie that is clashing between the two containers, here is the code for the two sets of buttons:-

this.onRelease = function(){  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “weather”;  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“weather.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “weather”) {  
if (\_root.container.\_currentframe\>= \_root.container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “weather”;  
\_root.container.play();  
}  
}  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “course”;  
\_root.container2.loadMovie(“course.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “course”) {  
if (\_root.container2.\_currentframe\>= \_root.container2.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “course”;  
\_root.container2.play();  
}  
}  
}

This is probably easy as pie and I’m sorry to waste your time but i’m desperate to get this fixed, PLEASE HELP!
