for some reason, this swf, when loaded, is making my main timeline replay the intro of the site… not sure exactly why, but I think something in the script is interacting with the \_root  
hmmm… any thoughs?

```auto
_global.slideDuration = 2*1000;
function btnAction(btnName){
	btnName.onRollOver = function(){
		this.gotoAndStop(2);
	}
	btnName.onRollOut = function(){
		btnName.gotoAndStop(1);
	}

}
// APPLY TO BTNS
_global.pressPages = this;
for(i=1; i<15;i++){
	var btn = this["btn"+i];
//	trace(btn);
	btnAction(btn);
}
// GO TO FRAME ACTIONS
btn1.onRelease = function(){
	pressPages.gotoAndStop(1);
	mask.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
btn2.onRelease = function(){
	pressPages.gotoAndStop(2);
	mask.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
btn3.onRelease = function(){
	pressPages.gotoAndStop(3);
	mask.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

```

on and the btn function above is rewritten for each btn… any way around this?
