i have a movie using this preloader which i got here from another post that uses this code on the preloader movie itself.

> onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
> if(dummy ==1){  
> \_root.text.\_alpha += 10;  
> }  
> loaded = \_root.clip.getBytesLoaded();

total = \_root.clip.getBytesTotal();  
num = int(perc) + “%”;  
perc = (loaded/total)\*100;  
bar.\_width = perc;  
if(loaded == total && dummy == 1){  
\_root.text.\_alpha = 0;  
\_root.now = 1;  
//trace(“dja”);  
}  
}

Then i have on my frame action

> clip.loadMovie(“drive.swf”);  
> clip.\_alpha = 0;  
> now = 0;  
> text.dummy = 1;

//now load the external file into the myData object  
myData.load(“drive.txt”);  
stop();

Now it works great but when you go throught the frames and let it sit for about 30 seconds with out hitting a next or previouse to load the next swf it dissapears and then after about 30 sec it reapears and keeps doing it.

Can some one please help?

Thanks!
