LoadMovie+preloader = not work

programming flash

LoadMovie
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm

and

preloader http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm

i’ve done both of these tutz separately and they both work fine but when you put them together it doesn’t work.

this is what i did…

made an “index” page called “Main”
made a “content” page called “gallery”

the gallery page contains a preloader in it. both the index and the content page work separately but when you ask the index page to load gallery, it does not work. i think the problem is in the coding in the preloader. Instead of loading frame 3 in the content (gallery) page it loads frame 3 in the index (main) page.

can somebody help me please???

Btw I’ve tested out the preloader and it works fine by itself. I also know “When you preview the animation in your browser from the Hard Drive, you WILL NOT see a preloader.”

here are the <a href=“http://users.bigpond.net.au/kechen/help.zip”>files</a>

Well if you did the tutorial then you may notice that the code in the tutorial is different than the one in premade downloadable file.

I updated the tutorial with new code that fixes this issue, but I forgot to supply a new .zip file for download that contains the new code.

Hey Disfunctional,
What did you do to get the preloader to do what you wanted it to do?
I am having the same problem, and if anyone can help:
Once the movie is loaded, my text in a dynamic text box, which is controlled with a scrollbar component, does not show up.
