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.
