You guys I need your help!  
I have this cool preloader for my [COLOR=Red]index[/COLOR] file and I have an [COLOR=Blue]external swf[/COLOR] I’m trying to load in. So my thinking was simply copy and paste the same preloader from the [COLOR=Red]index[/COLOR] to the [COLOR=Blue]external swf[/COLOR] and when loaded in, the [COLOR=Red]index[/COLOR] will read it.

Not so!

The [COLOR=Red]index[/COLOR] displays 100% when loading in the [COLOR=Blue]external swf[/COLOR] and doesn’t load anything in!

Here is my file. [COLOR=Purple]The thumbnail in question is on page 2[/COLOR].

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me.
