When using preloaders as transitions between external swfs, what is the best way to load them into at container clip in the main movie?
Is it simply?
on (press) {
containermc.loadMovie(“clip.swf”);
}
Here’s why I ask…
I designed a site where external movies are dynamically loaded into a main movie that has buttons for navigation.
I used this tutorial and everything worked perfectly:

I got fancy and changed the preloaders of my external movies, from a standard bar preloader to an advanced preloader with tweens using this tutorial:

I usually keep all my content in the main timeline, but this tutorial suggested putting the preloader in a seperate scene.
Changing the preloaders has now made the navigation I built from the first tutorial slightly buggy. If I press a button while the movie is in transition, buttons in the main movie stop working and I have to click several buttons in no particular order to get the external swfs loading again…T
It’s probably just a matter of modifying the AS I used from the first tutorial (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm) to allow for the scene I added for the advanced preloader. Unfortunately my AS skills are limited…
I’d appreciate any input, this navigation bug is annoying…
