I’m trying to use the “[Transitions Between External SWFs](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm)” tutorial with my movie but I can’t get everything to work properly. About my movie:  
The container is at “\_root.main” on the swf. The tut says to adjust the buttons to point to this location which I’ve done. But when I try to click back to a lower section, it just loads the same section over and over. For example, if I were to click section 2 and wanted to go back to section 1, the movie loads section 2 again.

here is the code I’m using on the button (section1):

on (release) {  
if (\_root.main.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.main.currMovie = “section1”;  
\_root.main.container.loadMovie(“section1.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.main.currMovie != “section1”) {  
if (\_root.main.container.\_currentframe\>= \_root.main.container.midframe) {  
\_root.main.currMovie = “section1”;  
\_root.main.container.play();  
}  
}  
}

Any help is welcome, thank you.
