Hey fellas, this shouldn’t be too tough.

I am using Flash MX by the way…

Heres the low down…my preloader kicks in, loads the main movie. The loadbar tweens into a big black box…at some point on the main timeline this is no longer a graphic but a movie clip. What I want is all of my content to load into this “black box” movie clip…and at the frame on the main timeline it turns into a movie clip I want to load in the first external swf “news.swf”. Note: all my external swf’s have their own preloaders right now.

If anyone can help…ill give you a hug!
