SWF Transition problem

Hello everyone!

I am using the tutorial for the swf external transition that can be found here:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm

The issue I’m having now is that all the content is in a MC on the root time line. The code for the transitions is inside of that MC. I think it is an issue with the current code calling into the _root. I have tried using this. or not using anything in front of the instance and it still is not working properly.

Here’s what I currently have…

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

If I put the movie on it’s own root timeline it seems to work properly but it’s not functioning quite right with the background scaling I have in use as well. Any help on this is much appreciated! :hr:
