hi, this is my first attempt at flash, i have used the following tutorial to get a movie [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)  
i’ve not changed any scripting, just copied and pasted into my movie.

the swf works fine, but if i load this into another movie using a holder…it stops working!

i hope someone can help :thumb:

oh, i should of said, i’m using mx6…so ( i’m told)…no \_lockroot ?!  
this is the code

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (!loaded && this.\_url != \_root.\_url) {  
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {  
loaded = true;  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“opening”);  
}  
}  
}
