The original problem was that I couldn’t use the preloader in my flash because if I uncheck “export to first frame” the sounds don’t work. So I got the sounds to work and I made the preloader and the flash seperate.

I tried importing the flash into the preloader locally using this code: loadMovieNum(“brutalinsulter91.swf”, 0);  
but it only worked on my computer.

Then I tried to import it after I uploaded on to a website, but it just did this: [http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loading2dj0.swf[URL=“http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loading2dj0.swf”]](http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loading2dj0.swf%5BURL=%22http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loading2dj0.swf%22%5D)

So I do import the swf into the flash without it having to load locally?

Here is the flash:  
[http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/tivaelydoc/brutalinsulter9.swf](http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/tivaelydoc/brutalinsulter9.swf)

And yes, the preloader is the first frame.

I can upload the fla if someone needs it.
