Hi all, I went through Claudio’s preloader transition tutorial on kirupa ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)). I have tried to apply it to my own fla and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT I can’t get any of the external swfs to load into the empty movie clip called “content”. And yes, I have checked and rechecked to make sure that all MCs have instance names! =) Could someone please take a look at this and tell me what the heck I’m missing? Many thanks! :love: [fla.zip](http://home.comcast.net/~mkatzmoye/index.html) ---

Uh . . . have you tried it all the way? :ne: When you click on the link in the post it goes to a website. There are only two things at the website - one is a cry for help and the other is an underlined link that says “flash file”. When you click on that it starts the downloading process. This downloads a folder that has an fla and four swfs. I just downloaded it so it should work! :beam: I guess you may have to zoom all the way out once opened/ Oh yeah, and the whole thing looks better when viewed in a browser - it was built for web vs. just testing in flash. Thanks for any help! ---

Are you serious? That was it?! That is so infuriating! :d: Well, at least it was something simple that I can wrap my brain around . . . :nerd: Thanks Claudio! :snug:
