ok. im making a site with lots of externally loaded .swf’s.  
now a few of these .swf’s have components in them (eg. accordion and loaders.)

when i make a [preloader](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Actionscripting/Creating-Programm-689/index.php) for the clip it wont work. I have unchecked export in first frame on the components, but all of the data still sits in the first frame, therefor making the preloader pointless…

could someone please give me a hand with this. i know there are similar threads around but i need an exact solution… 😃

thanks!

(sorry the file was too big for a zip. and it doesnt allow .rar’s so i have to put a .rar in a .zip) 😛
