what i would like to do is load the photo gallery template into an .swf that is to be loaded into my main .swf. sound confusing enough? yea, i know. so i know that i need to change the \_root in the action script but i don’t know what to chage it to. in my main swf here is the action script i am using for the button…

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)) {  
this.nextFrame();  
} else {  
this.prevFrame();  
}  
}

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “news”;  
\_parent.container.loadMovie(“news.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “news”) {  
if (\_parent.container.\_currentframe == \_parent.container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “news”;  
\_parent.container.play();  
}  
}  
}  
[/AS]

in my 2nd swf i am just using a regular button. so anyway you can get it to load will be fine.

thanks in advance for your help.
