"Transitions Between External SWFs" - using Movie Clips intead of Buttons

[Plus]

[font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]Hey there

I have just completed the “Transitions Between External SWFs” tutorial and I’m now I’m at the stage of altering a few things in there to suit my needs. But I’ve run into a problem…

For my buttons, intead of “Button” symbols, I want to use “Movie Clip” symbols - reason being is that I’ve got some specially animated Movie Clip buttons that I wish to use.

To get this… err “working”… with my Movie Clip buttons I have needed to use “_root.” when referencing to the container Movie Clip.

Now that works to an extent, but for some reason each button plays only “[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red.swf[/size][/font]” even when there is no mention of it in the ActionScript and is instructed to play “blue” for example (“red.swf” happens to be the first appearing movie).

Can anybody help me to get this working properly? I hope it’s some stupid mistake on my part rather than something impossible.

Normal method with Button - works fine!

on (release) {

		if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {

		_root.currMovie = "red";
		container.loadMovie("[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2].swf");
		} else if (_root.currMovie != "[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]") {
		if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {

		_root.currMovie = "[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]";
		container.play();

		}
	}
}[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]

[font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]

onClipEvent(load) {
	
	this.onRollOver = function() {
}
	
	this.onMouseUp = function() {
		
		if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {

		_root.currMovie = "[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]";
		_root.container.loadMovie("[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2].swf");
		} else if (_root.currMovie != "[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]") {
		if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {

		_root.currMovie = "[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]red[/size][/font][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]";
		_root.container.play();
		}
	}
}
