i followed instructions from thsi tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/preloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/preloader.htm)  
on how to make a basic pre-loader and i have to admit, i was impressed (having never been able to make a successful one since flash 4)

HOWEVER

my main site pre-loads, then loads, i have a container which other pages/swf files are loaded into.  
These also have pre-loaders.

Alone, all pages pre-load fine, however when they load into the container, i get a black window with no pre-loader.

Any ideas why?

I figured it may be because each ‘page’ was using the same command as the main page, so there may be a conflict, but even after changing layer names etc, it still doesnt work.
