Flash-heroes,

I’ve read this topic [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)  
and is ofcourse working perfect. 😏

But… now I want to use this movieclip in another movieclip using loadmovie.  
Ofcourse the “\_root referring to”'s have to be changed … but I just can’t get it working.

Mainmovie.fla using as. to get submovie.fla.  
submovie contains the as. used in the topic.

Could anybody help me?!

Oh… btw: I’ve also read topic [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/root\_parent\_this.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/root_parent_this.htm)
