my bro raised this up to me just awhile ago…he was pulling his hair out wondering why it said that the code was invalid. well i managed to figure it out in awhile:

step vi of the Main Movie instructions -  
If you want the first section to load automatically when entering the site, place this code at the frame of the main timeline at which you want the first section to show, and replace your\_first\_section\_name by the name of the first section:  
\_root.currMovie = “your\_first\_section\_name”;  
container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie+".swf");

for the code, apparently

\_root.currMovie = “home”;

it’s diff from

\_root.currMovie = “home”;

and as a result, pasting directly (which is the first case) is not a valid script.  
just thought i’d let some people know.
