oi!

I have been lerning about transitions from tutorial found on this page, it works fine when i make transitions from buttons in menu bar, but the problem appears when i click on a band button, band swf appears and with it automatically bandmemb.swf, this swf has three buttons and by itself works fine, but when connected to band.swf, buttons won`t work, so i changed the actionscript code from \_root to \_parent and it started to work for the button which i press first, then when i click on another button the same swf changes back where it already was, then i changed the final swfs (which were supposed to come up when i click on a button) in the last keyframe from \_root.container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie+".swf"); to

\_parent.container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie+".swf");

and now when i click on a button swf comes up, but when i click on another button swf goes away and nothing apperars and all buttons go dead. I complicated the whole thing a bit, but can someone please help me out, i would really appreciate it. This is the test page
