Hey everyone… Basically I have a main movie clip with a loader on it… (The loader component) It loads external swf’s, and it works fine. Some of the swf’s are getting to be fairly large, so i want to add preloaders to them. it works fine when I test the single swf. But when it loads from the main movie, the preloaders don’t show up… IE: I placed the preloader on the separate swf’s and the swf shows up after a while (in simulate download) but the preloader doesn’t… I read senoculars enormous page on preloading, but I wasn’t able to get a clear answer on my problem. It seemed to deal mainly with onEnterFrame statements, that didn’t seem right for my problem. (Maybe I should read it again??) So what should i do? Make a dedicated preloader on the main page, that’s used for all content? And how would I go about that?? I guess the code would be placed within my “onRelease = function() {}” on the various buttons… Anyone know a tutorial on this issue? The page is the flashback url in my signature, in case you were wondering… Thank you! Stig
