Egad!

So I’m using Senocular’s FABULOUS zooming map, only very slightly simplified.

For some reason, I can’t get my preloader to work! Anybody know why this might be?

Using a very simple preloader with external AS. It goes like this:

stop();

function onPreloaderOut(){  
preloader\_mc.removeEventListener(“onPreloaderOut”, this);  
gotoAndPlay(“THESITE”);  
}  
preloader\_mc.addEventListener(“onPreloaderOut”, this);

preloader\_mc.startPreload(this);

Any thoughts?! Am I looking right at the answer and not finding it because I’m fried? Help!

Thanks!
