Help with Kirupa SWF Transition

I know this is probably obvious, but i can not get it to work. I have this code embedded in a MC (2 Lvls) and i tried to add MC names after the _root to hope to make it work, but to no result. The rest of the kirupa transition is on the root timeline

MAIN TIMELINE:
_root.currMovie = “Template_Intr_1”;
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");

The code below is what i placed in the MC, i think it is a matter of levels, but i am missing something…

EMBEDDED INSIDE MC’s
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = “Template_Intr_2”;
container.loadMovie(“Template_Intr_2.swf”);
} else if (_root.currMovie != “Template_Intr_2”) {
if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = “Template_Intr_2”;
container.play();
}
}
}
