Hi,

I was doing the Preloader and Transition tutorial and I am trying to make one on my own using the tutorial as the guide for the code and layers etc.  
Please could somebody look at my file and tell me where I have gone wrong, and correct it.

Thanx

Benji2004

P.S I have not included the home.swf file and all the other files that are linked from it. Please just correct the file. Thanks
