I know this questions has been asked a lot but i still can’t find the straight answer that i am looking for!! Please help!  
Here goes:

I am following the kirupa tutorial “transitions between external swf’s”  
The only difference is that I have my buttons in a seperate movieClip. And now none of my buttons work! I know it is probably a \_root/\_parent thing but I just don’t know how to alter the actionscript!

This the actionscript in the one of the buttons:

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

I have the container movieclip set up also.

Thanks for your time and sorry for asking this question again.
