Transitions with External SWFs Help

So I’m using Kirupa’s Transitions with External SWFs tutorial and runninging into a little roadblock. In each external SWF, everything works fine as long as my fade in transition, content, and fade out transition are all on the main timeline along with the appropriate code. However, if I have all of this in a movie clip (work for example), things seem to stop working. Here’s the code I have assigned to the button that’s supposed to load work.swf:

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

Do I need to change a path somewhere to call to the movie clip work within the SWF work? Thanks,
