Ok i’ve done a bit of an update but im still having problems. I’ll try and outline everything.

Home.swf (relevant code):
PHP Code:
box2Hit_mc.onRelease = function () {
    removeCurrentPage(currentPage); //remove current page
    currentPage = "portfolio";
    loadExternalSwf("portfolio");
    portfolioLoader_mc.loadPortfolioSelection("work2"); //show the work 2 in the portfolio
}

function loadExternalSwf(page:String):Void {
    mcLoader.loadClip(page + ".swf",page + "Loader_mc");
    this[page + "_mc"].gotoAndStop(7);
    extAnimMask_mc.visible = false;
} 
Portfolio.swf (relevant code):
PHP Code:
function loadPortfolioSelection(selectedWork:String):Void {
    currentPage = selectedWork;
    loadProject(selectedWork);
    trace("loadPortfolioSelection Executed");
}

function loadProject(page:String):Void {
    for(var i=1; i<=numProjects; i++){
        if(currentPage == "work"+i){
            _root["work"+i+"Loader_mc"]["mainMask_mc"].gotoAndPlay("_out");
            _root["work"+i+"Loader_mc"]["viewPrevious_mc"].gotoAndPlay("_off");
            _root["work"+i+"Loader_mc"]["viewNext_mc"].gotoAndPlay("_off");
            _root["work"+i+"Loader_mc"].clearAnimInterval();
            trace(i);
        }
    }    
    this[currentPage + "_mc"].gotoAndPlay("_out");         //remove highlighting of nav text
    this[currentPage + "Text_mc"].gotoAndPlay("_out");   //remove text
    mcLoader.loadClip(page + ".swf",page + "Loader_mc"); //load new project
    this[page + "Text_mc"].gotoAndPlay("_in");             //bring new text in
    this[page + "_mc"].gotoAndStop(7);                     //highlight nav text
    currentPage = page;
} 
Now here’s the problem. On the first box2Hit_mc.onRelease() the portfolio section loads but the work is not selected and using the trace command i found that loadPortfolioSelection() is not being called at all. However, if i go back to the homepage and click the same box again, loadPortfolioSelection() is executed (trace shows up), but the work is not shown, so loadProject is not working correctly. I then test loadProject using trace (inside the if statement in the for loop) and it shows the correct value has been passed from home.swf to portfolio.swf (page = “work2”). However for some reason the work2.swf never loads, the new text does not come in, and the nav wont highlight (so basically nothing changes).

This has been annoying me for a while now. I would be thankful for any help anyone can provide. Thx
