Well, I feel extremely embarassed to be asking this. . . . I need help with finding out why the stupid browser downloads my movie and skips the preloader, frankly I am about to ban Internet Explorer! Here is what I am working on for a submittion on Deviant Art: [http://www.macromotive.com/ebay/dalu/trans\_1.html](http://www.macromotive.com/ebay/dalu/trans_1.html) Where the f\*ck did it put my preloader, seriously, why the hell is this happening! By the way I embedded a bunch of images to make the movie larger so I could see if it ever showed the preloader, but it never did! The .fla is right here: [http://www.macromotive.com/ebay/dalu/trans\_1.fla](http://www.macromotive.com/ebay/dalu/trans_1.fla) Thanks in advanced masters, I am too embarassed to post this in an open forum ☹ ---

I really have no clue, I am thinking it is maybe because it is withing a movie clip, and since that movie clip contains sound and images it is taking too long to load that movie clip and therefore won’t play it. Just a guess, not positive. Try recreating it outside of the same movie clip. ---

Ok, I just tested your preloader code (not your preloader, just the code you used) on the main timeline instead of the inside the movie clip, and it worked like a charm. So it is because everything is in one movie clip. ---

Hint: It’s called “research” Dan. That’s the excuse I always use for doing stuff like this at work… 🙂 ---
