Hi friends,

Any idea of how can I catch a .onLoadStart event of a movieClipLoader Object that is in the \_root. In other words, i would like to detect the .loadClip event called from one mc in another mc:

1 the movieClipLoader(mcl) and it’s listener(mclLtnr) are in the \_root  
2 then some mc(loaderMc) calls the \_root.mcl.loadClip, and the load starts…  
3 then another mc(detectMc) has to detect the \_root.mcl event ??? Any suggestion…

Thx for your help,

:tie:
