I’ve been using the snazzy preloader for a while now, but now I’ve come to a fork in the road, and it’s forking got me baffled. The most annoying thing is I’m sure it’s just a basic targetting problem.

The preloader works fine if the external .swf is loaded in by LoadMovieNum, but I tried placing it in on a lower layer in my main movie, hence the LoadMovie (into an empty MC container).

Could some kind soul have a looksee at the .fla and see what it is that I can’t?
