Hey all:trout: Please look at these files I have uploaded. when you click on the link about the about movie wont show up. I looked at the file and the problem is the preloader. I had to add 3 frames to the layer1 so the third frame would be the one that should show the main sites links after the preloder has preloaded. when you remove the two frames after the third frame and leave the third fram as frame 1 the links work, but if you put more frames it wont work. try to click on the links they wont work.I am a 99% newbie and would like to finish making this movie so I could learn more about flash mx. So please could somebody give me a hand? : Daisy:hangover: here is the file: [PROBLEM](http://www.in2illusions.com/mxproblem.zip) ---

I found 2 errors on ur code. 1st, replace [AS]this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;[/AS] with [AS]this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_239;[/AS] where **239** is ur loadBar width. 2nd, u dont have an instance of content movie clip in ur third frame. So the content wont load at all. Just go to frame 3 on ur content mc layer and hit F5 or F6. Dat should solve ur problem. 😉 ---

You are telling your movie to go to frame 3 and load an external movie clip into **content**. The problem is dat on frame 3 there is no movie clip called **content**. Dats y i told you to hit F5 or F6, in order to put an instance of content on frame 3. Got it? 🙂 ---
