Back in the days when I was even green than I still am I followed this tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm)

Now I’m trying to do a similar thing in flash cs3 with as3 and having problems

Basically … I want to load a different external swf into a container, depending upon what frame I am in on the timeline.

I know this should be easy, but I’m not getting it.  
Any help may help me sleep - thanks in advance.
