if (\_framesloaded\>= “kbs/number of frames” ) {  
gotoAndPlay (2);  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay (1);  
}

That is the script i am using in the external SWF that i want to load.

When i load it into a movie clip, it does not show the preloader(which is just a blinking LOADING text) When it was online, it just was blank, and then, after loading, the SWF played fine (without the preloader showing up)

is that all you code ??!

by the way … this looks weird …

```auto
if (_framesloaded>= **"kbs/number of frames"** ) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

```

how can a string be less than or equal to \_framesloaded?? :crazy:

if (\_framesloaded\>= “44” ) {  
gotoAndPlay (2);  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay (1);  
}

That is the script in The Swf I am calling up… Then I have that SWF called up and put into an empty movie clip called CLIP1. I use the \_root.CLIP1.loadmovie… on a button. And then the movie loads into the CLIP1, but there is no loading, you can not see it when it was online, there would be no preloader…  
am i doing something wrong?
