ok, would i be right in assuming that the reusable preloader tutorial is not able to be tested offline? whenever i try and test it offline (as in by using flash mx 04’s bandwidth tester) it refuses to work i am assuming coz the file is already written to disk. however when i test it using an online (as in hosted on a website somewhere) file it works like a dream. please say this is a the case and that i haven’t just stuffed something up…

anyway cheers
