Works for me. How are you testing it? Are you using the bandwidth simulator within flash, cause remember you have to press ctrl+enter twice to get it to load with the bandwidth cap on. Also i noticed you dont actually have the content MC in frame 4 so it wont be shown onces its loaded? dunno maybe you want it that way. Also if this is mx2004 it should be in the mx2004 forum, not the flash 8 forum. ---

In Both Flash and from A server. I saved the fiel as an mx file for ease of others…maybe I shouldnt have posted here …ive reworked the fiel and found something weird so Im gunna take it over to the mx forum…id really appreciate if you’d take a look!
