Hi,

I’m in the process of migrating my 1st flash game from my PC to a web site. I have a preloader that will load a couple of .swf files to start but it stops when requesting the 1st URL.

Here is my code:

> var l1:Loader = new Loader();  
> var l2:Loader = new Loader();  
> var completeTimer:Timer;  
> var percentSoFar:uint;

l1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop1);  
l1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, load2);  
l1.load(new URLRequest(“MyFile.swf”));

This is not the entire preloader file, just the part until it halts.

Is it possible that I need to publish with specific settings? After all, everything was working fine until it was copied on the server.

Thanks,
