Hi peeps, once again I need your help.

I’m having troubles getting my preloader to work. I know it works, cuz I’ve used in all my previous projects and reuse it. Now i’m onto loading movies but different from what i’ve done in the past.

Right now i have a main (main.swf) movie loading 2 movies:

```auto

createEmptyMovieClip("ice_flames", 1);
ice_flames._x = 155;
ice_flames._y = 19;
ice_flames.loadMovie("flash/ice_flames.swf");

createEmptyMovieClip("masthead", 2);
masthead._x = -12;
masthead._y = -1;
masthead.loadMovie("flash/ice_masthead.swf");

```

i put my preloader in each and no luck. then just in the movies that are being loaded… no luck gets stuck.

any ideas or suggestions??

thanks!  
shelby.
