Hello everyone  
As you can see Im new here. I would like to ask you sth… I got a problem with \_root command.  
I’ve finished tutorial “Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files” by claudio  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)  
and everything works fine. But when I put everything in another movie clip (to arrange it on the certain point in the browser for example) then it stops working.  
I assume thats because of \_root command that aplies to main timeline.  
I thought that getting rid of \_root will do the job but I was mistaken. Can you tell me what should I do ?

I would really apreciate any help
