I am using a panel slider that calls MC’s in the library to create separate panels. I have been attempting a pre-loader in each MC in the library that the slider calls.

Inside each MC I am loading an external JPG into another MC holing clip and the following code is attached to that MC(to watch the loading):

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (!loaded && this.\_url != \_root.\_url) {  
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {  
loaded = true;  
\_root.slider.panel2.gotoAndPlay(“rollback”);  
}  
}  
}

I understand that “.slider.panel2” may not be the full address to control that clip. What would work?

I have been able to make it work if upon loading it targets the “\_root” and not the individual MC’s.

Whew! Can you help?

In short I am trying to make a old site easily up-dateable for the photographer while keeping the same general look:
