I was working with [this tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm) it deals with transitions between external .swfs with the click of a button.

I have done this but I can’t figure out why mine won’t work. I have my main timeline is in a movie clip and not in the \_root. So to it is \_root.main… Also, the external .swfs are the same way. All actionscript would be in the movie clip \_root.main

Can someone help me to find where and how I need to modify the actionscript to make it work with the setup that I have.
