Hi to everyone... preloader for external swf's?

1

Hi guys…

… I’ve had my preloader successes already, but something still doesn’t work for the external movies…

I’m loading the main movie - which contains several chapters, loaded as external swf’s - with the following preloader on the first frame, rest content from second frame on:


  // preloader action

stop();

myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);

function preloader() {

	if (_root.getBytesLoaded()>=_root.getBytesTotal()) {

  gotoAndStop(2);

  //_root.lal_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);

  clearInterval(myInterval);

	}

	preloader_txt.text = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100)+"% loaded";

}  ;

works fine, as you can see here.

Now I’m employing the same strategy for the external swf’s, loading them into a movieclip-holder, but it just doesn’t work… what am I doing wrong???

That’s the code I’m using to load:

 //contact: plays contact movie

_root.menu_mc.contact_btn.onRelease = function() {

	loadMovie("e_contact.swf", simpleviewer_mc);

};

Thanks for any help!
