Hey all,

I am using MovieClipLoader to load a swf. The external swf has about 12 images on it that just show up one after another. But only the first frame displays.

Anyone know why it does not play?

My code:  
[AS]  
var empty\_mc:MovieClip;  
var mclListener:Object = new Object();  
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

mclListener.onLoadInit = function():Void  
{  
trace(empty\_mc.getBytesTotal());  
}

myMCL.addListener(mclListener);  
myMCL.loadClip(“Safety.swf”, empty\_mc);  
empty\_mc.play();  
[/AS]  
Thanks in advance.
