I have two problems:

[list=1]  
[_]I have used [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm) and I’m having quite some trouble getting the preloader working. I also searched and found claudio’s exampe of it and tried to follow it exactly but it seems I have it failing miserably…  
[_]I have a form in an external swf that’s being loaded in with the previous script, but the masking doesn’t allow text to be edited in the imput field. I know dynamic masking let’s you do this, but I couldn’t apply the mask to two items then.  
[/list] If anybody can figure out either of these problems, I’ll be quite grateful! The zip is too large so here’s a link: [http://nokrev.no-ip.com/kirupa/preloaderAndMask.zip](http://nokrev.no-ip.com/kirupa/preloaderAndMask.zip)

thanks 😉
