Hi, I need a little help writing a function that loads two separate SWF files by clicking a button. Here is my current code:

> 

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “slash”;  
slash\_container.loadMovie(“slash.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “slash”) {  
if (slash\_container.\_currentframe \>= slash\_container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “slash”;  
slash\_container.play();  
}  
}  
}  
on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “merch”;  
container.loadMovie(“merch.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “merch”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe \>= container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “merch”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}

My first SWF file (slash.swf) will load but the second file will not. The problem I am having is because of the coding for the outro in each of the SWFs. I know regularly is would be:

> 

on (release) {  
slash\_container.loadMovie(“slash.swf”);  
container.loadMovie(“merch.swf”);  
}

But with all of this extra code I am not sure what to do.

Thanks for all of the help,  
Brian
