Hello,

I have index.swf which has the following script on frame one:  
[AS]  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1000);  
\_root.container.\_visible = 0;  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“preloader”, 1001);  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“content.swf”);  
[/AS]  
then on frame two:  
[AS]  
preloader.onEnterFrame = function() {  
t = \_root.container.getBytesTotal();  
trace(“t=”+t)  
l = \_root.container.getBytesLoaded();  
trace(“l=”+l)  
p = l/t;  
trace (“p=”+p)  
loader.\_width = p\*100;  
if (l\>=t) {  
\_root.container.\_visible = 1;  
trace(“done”)  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};  
stop();  
[/AS]  
It works like it should, minus the fact that at about 35% (60k out of 153k) it shows the content.swf. This doesn’t make any sense because container (the MC holding content.swf) is set to to be invisible until l = t (loaded = total). I’ve been tweaking this for hours and can’t for the life of me figure out why its showing the container prematurly and why its ignoring my \_visible tags
