New and with a question on transitions

programming flash

Heya guys! Just joined and already got a question about Transition tut
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm

Basically Ive got this file (headware) and its a filw with transitions in it… just like in tha tutorial. When I test it on its own it works fine and loads up external swf as intended.
However when i load that file (headware) into another file (index) it messes up.
This is what happens:
Under Products click on Headware, and then click on Visors after the animation ends. It plays the same file as before. I.e. doesnt load up the swf i asked for.

I would appreciate sooo much is someone could help.

can i look at your fla. I think you just made a simple error because the pathing issue seem to be fine. Make sure you double check your fla carefully. Try changing the fla to _parent instead of _root.

Ahhh cool i will try that!
Ill post the fla sometime tomorow buddy!
Im going to take a quick look at it before bed.

Thank you soo much!

Button script:
on (release) {
if (this.currMovie==undefined) {
this.currMovie = “[COLOR=Red]name here[/COLOR]”;
[COLOR=Red]changehere[/COLOR].loadMovie("[COLOR=Red]name here[/COLOR].swf");
}else if (this.currMovie != “[COLOR=Red]name here[/COLOR]”) {
if ([COLOR=Red]changehere[/COLOR]._currentframe >=
[COLOR=Red]changehere[/COLOR].midframe) {
this.currMovie = “[COLOR=Red]name here[/COLOR]”;
[COLOR=Red]changehere[/COLOR].play();
}
}
}

Last frame script:
_parent.[COLOR=Red]changehere[/COLOR].loadMovie(_parent.currMovie+".swf");

change here = the instance name of your container.
name here = name of the file but only for the .swf the rest you can put any name but make sure all the same.
