Preloader problems

hi,

i have a movie that loads into a different move.

movie1.swf loads into movie2.swf but the problem that i have is i want a preloader on movie1. all of the preloaders that i have found or use use _root in the actionscript and this seems to mess things up because it goes to the _root of movie1 since movie1 is actually loaded into movie2. does anyone know a way around this.

rl

use _this. instead of _root.

yeh i tryed that and i was able to get it to work for part of the loader as far as at the end i have a tell target and _this worked but on the rest of the preloader it just seems to mess things up.

i was able also to get it to work when i made a simple preloader were it was not trying to use a bar and percent loaded
