[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Hi!  
I [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]already [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]searched this forum for other posts on this subject, but I didn’t find an answer that solved my problem. I tried to use the tutorial about “Transitions [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Between External SWFs”, but with internal movieclips instead of external swfs. I changed the “loadMovie” from the script into “attachMovie”, but somehow this doesn’t work… I have absolutely no idea, why it doesn’t.

[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black][Script]  
//on the button  
on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “my\_mc”;  
\_root.container.attachMovie(“my\_mc”, “my\_mc”, 1);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “my\_mc”) {  
if (\_root.container.\_currentframe \>= \_root.container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “my\_mc”;  
\_root.container.play();  
}  
}  
}

// in the MC’s  
// 1st frame  
midframe = 21;  
// midframe  
stop();  
// last frame  
\_root.container.attachMovie(\_root.currMovie);  
[/Script]

Thanks, Anna
