Using the tutorial found here on kirupa on loading external swfs and transition between them…

I am trying to do the transitons between loaded external swfs… using this code on a button in the main navigation swf…

on (release) {  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “aboutus”;  
container.loadMovie(“aboutus.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “aboutus”) {  
if (container.\_currentframe\>=container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “aboutus”;  
container.play();  
}  
}  
}

I have successfully made it work, but only when this code is placed on a button on the main timeline- NOT nested inside an MC, withing another MC… Why is that? How can i put this code on a button which is nested twice inside an MC clip?-- my container. MC (the empty MC which i am loading the swf into) is placed on the main timeline, the first frame.

can someone help me ammend my code, so that i am able to nest the code inside a mc inside another mc, yet still target the container MC on the main timeline root.

thanks
