  never use a button. make movieclip and use a onPress event [button MC].

  mcbutton.onPress = function(){
  this._parent.mc.loadMovie ("downstairs_isb.swf ");
  }

  that way you can centralize your code in one layer only.

  I use this._parent. becuase playing with _root can be tricky when using external swf that also call _root. use hierarchical 'calling'. _parent._parent....

  you can even make root=_parent._parent and then use that variable
