*sigh* External SWF Transition Problem

After going through the tutorial here and getting stuck, I’ve been trying to figure this out for the better part of the day with none of the other threads shedding much light on it.

Here is my problem: I have my navigation menu in a separate movieClip. I am using movieClips with invisible buttons for the buttons. I’ve added “_root.” before “container” with no success. Here is the code I am using on the instances of the movieClips containing the invisible buttons:

on (release) {
	if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
		_root.currMovie = "home";
		_root.container.loadMovie("home.swf");
	} else if (_root.currMovie != "home") {
		if (_root.container._currentframe >= _root.container.midframe) {
			_root.currMovie = "home";
			_root.container.play();
		}
	}
}

So I don’t know what’s up… if you have a few minutes and can solve my newbie problem, I’d be really appreciative. Here is a link to a zip w/ the files: http://www.colditz-moore.com/matt/mueller/mueller.zip

Thank you thank you thank you.
