Hi everybody,

I created a preloader movie, to load my main movie using a MovieClipLoader object. This was because I had a preloader in my main movie, but it wasn’t showing the loading process propertly (it started to show it after 90% of the movie was loaded)

Now the external preloader works fine, but in my main movie I have a XML object loading an XML doc that allows me to create a menu, but this just doesn’t work now. I have the script for the XML object in the first frame of the main movie, and then I load the xml file in a later frame (where the menu will appear) it just doesn’t work.

Could anyone please give me some advice?
