Ok im trying to get the effect of different swfs for all my different pages, so my loader one is “menu.swf” and i also have “index.swf”, and “about.swf”. Index and About are pretty much the same and have the same transtition in and transition out effect, The tut i based this off is [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)

Problem Im having is it works up to the point where I try to click on the buttons to change the content, the content won’t change and I cant tell what I’m doing wrong, the actionscript for the buttons are

> 

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

The AS for the rest of the buttons are pretty much the same except for the movie name is changed… Heres the link for my [site](http://ericradio.no-ip.com)

Also I’ve done what the tutorial did and dled the Thing for it and looked at it and it looks like it should work, but it doesnt?

Thanks all!
