I have an easy problem I am just new to flash and actionscripting. I used the tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm) to load external movies. However my buttons are not in the root level. They are nested in a movie clip that is one deep. So this code. . .

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

does not work. I am used to html and javascript and can’t figure out how to correct this. Any help would be appreciated!!!
