Hi all,

So I’m using this tutorial I found on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com): [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)

I’ve had success with this in the past, however I’m working on a flash site where my buttons aren’t on the main time line, they’re inside movieclips (the movieclips are on the main timeline, though).

Any idea how to get the buttons INSIDE the movieclip to target the container on the main timeline?? If I can get that working, then the swf’s will load no problem.
