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:
