[left]I’m having some trouble with some paths…I used the tutorial ‘Transistions between .swf’s’ and they had they button on the main timeline. Well, my problem is that my button is inside a movie clip which is located on the main timline. Does anybody know the correct path for me to use?  
Here is the current AS for the button:  
on (press) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “shows”;  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“shows.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “shows”) {  
if (\_root.container.\_currentframe \>= \_root.container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “shows”;  
container.play();  
}

Thanks,
