I have buttons which are my menu that are contained in my menu MC.

On my main timeline, I have actions that tell those buttons to load certain external swf’s into an MC on the main timeline. This is all based off of kirupa’s external file tutorial.

Anyways, I have no idea how to tell the buttons in THAT clip to target the MAIN timeline.

Any help?
