I’m trying to figure out the AS for transition effects and I thought my prayers had been answered when [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) posted a tutorial on transition effects however I don’t want my transition effects to contain a loading script. I’ve tried ammending the script so the transition works when loading external movies into a container but its not working.

I’m using loaders already in each movie which is loaded into a container.

Can anyone help?

Thanks for your time.

You can use something like this:[AS]button.onPress = function(){  
\_root.swf = “home.swf”; //assigns to \_root.swf the value “home.swf”  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(frame); //tells transition movie to start playing  
}

```auto

Now on your transition mc's last frame, use the following code:

```

loadMovie(\_root.swf,content\_mc);

```auto

```
