I just went through the preloader and transition for dynamic files tutorial. I was able to complete it without any problems. Now I am trying to apply the concept to my own site, but I am having some trouble. I have tried to replicate everything exactly, but it just will not load the external .swf file. The transition plays to the middle (closed) and says loading… but it just sticks there forever. I already changed the action script in the transition movie to say [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]\_root.section = “myfile.swf”; instead of the original tutorial file, but it still will not load that .swf Any ideas? Thanks alot![/SIZE][/FONT]

any chance of sending in the files - can you zip them up and send them?
