I’m creating a site with buttons (movie buttons) targeting a container clip on the root which targets transitions in external swfs. I’m having trouble with my code in targeting the container.

I know how to do It with a normal button but not with a button inside of a movie clip…I’m pulling my freakin hair out. I attached a simplified version if you have some time. Thanks in advance.

I really hope I can use movie buttons for this because they just look better.
