Hi there  
I’m using the tutorial found [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm) to transition smoothly between my external swfs. This method calls the swfs into a container, called location, on stage. However, I have 2 problems:

1. The method in the tutorial only shows how to to do it from the mainline, which I am not doing.

2. My navigation is already in a container, called container, which I am unsure of how this will affect the path.

Quickly, home.swf is loading image1.swf into a container (called location) on stage. Image1.swf contains my menu. The menu will not call the relevant swf’s when clicked. I know it’s a path issue, but I am fairly code illiterate and could desperately use someone else’s eyes on this for 3 minutes to let me know what and where the path needs to change to…

PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FILES (3 MEGS) FROM MY SERVER… too large for upload here. Download them at [http://www.moggey.com/help.zip](http://www.moggey.com/help.zip)

I’ve included the two fla’s I am using, plus the relevant swf’s that would be called were the navigation working properly.

If someone would be kind enough to take a quick look at my button A/S it would be soo appreciated!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
