I followed Voetsjoeba’s tute and got it working fine - on the first level!  
“\_root.container”  
I am trying to use the code to make a top level navigation with subnav options.

I have gone to the next level “\_root.container.containerContent”  
For this subnav, I have got the SWF loading, but then it will not transition to the next SWF at the subnav level.

I am not really sure which parts of the code need to changed, but I know that what I have changed allows the SWF to load, just not transition.

This is a sample of the button code:

```auto
on (release) {
	if (_root.container.currMovie == undefined) {
		_root.container.currMovie = "dir_chris";
		containerContent.loadMovie("dir_chris.swf");
	} else if (_root.container.currMovie != "dir_chris") {
		if (container.containerContent._currentframe >= container.contentContent.midframe) {
			_root.container.currMovie = "dir_chris";
			container.containerContent.play();
		}
	}
}

```

This is a sample of the external SWF final frame code:

```auto
_root.container.containerContent.loadMovie(_root.container.currMovie+".swf");

```

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!  
Cheers.
