Hi there,

This is something that has been giving me the irrates for a while now, so I though I’d throw it out and see if I can get an answer…

OK, so I have an embedded video in a movieclip, that I have ‘exporting for actionscript’, but I dont have it ‘exporting in the first frame’ due to the fact that it causes my loader not to display accurately. So I place the video in the second frame of the main timeline. This works fine, its embedded, and the loader loads up nice and smoothly. But, once everything is loaded, if I try to attach the movie to the stage, while staying on frame 1, it doesnt work?

I can work around this by putting everything in the 3rd frame of the main timeline, but this seems kind of silly… its loaded, why can’t I call it?

Suggestions?
