Hi,

Can anyone give me a tip, in how to make a preload of an external loaded file?

I’ve got a movieclip that will load the external file, with the command:

container.loadmovie(“nameofthefile.swf”);

Since the file, is a little heavym i need to make a preload to make it run. The problem is, if I include a preload in the external file, the file when loaded will go to frame 1 of the main movie.

I still didn’t catch a way to make this work. Anyone can give me a hand with this please?

All the best.
