Can anybody work this out???
[http://www.besgrove.net/kra/](http://www.besgrove.net/kra/)
The external swf preloader doesn’t seem to work…I’ve used the one from the tute here…
in the first frame is,
bytes\_loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes\_total = Math.round(\_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;
\_root.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;
\_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {
\_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
:: i’ve changed the last line from \_root.gotoAndStop(3); to Play ::::
:: It doesn’t work even if i change the Play back to a stop ::
* * *
in the second frame is ::
gotoAndPlay(1);
* * *
and the third ::
play();
The swf i’m loading in works on it’s own ???
see [http://www.besgrove.net/kra/swf/main\_content.swf](http://www.besgrove.net/kra/swf/main_content.swf)
What have i done wrong???

Check the tutorial again. You downloaded the file at the end, when I last updated the tutorial I updated the code in the tutorial, but forget to supply a new .fla for Kirupa to throw up there, so the downloadable file contains the old code, but the tutorial itself contains the new code that should work.

Me? A legend? since when? how? I am confused.
How long has this place been around? I really have no clue, before it was a vBulletin board it used to be hosted on [ezboard.com](http://ezboard.com). I wasn’t here then. I signed up July 22, 2002, the day after I started learning AS 🙂 Ahhh, those were some good times.

correct me if I’m wrong but I think this community started in the year of 1999. 🙂

Yep, just checked the FAQ section,
> The site has been up since 1999. Strangely enough, this site covered a lot of random programs other than Flash when we (Kirupa) started in 1999.
