Hi guys,

I am currently trying to build a preloader that will preload my movie. The code for the preloader resides in the class.

Basicly, i need to pass a reference of my movie to my class. I am currently using:

```auto

var myloader:mySiteLoader = new mySiteLoader(this);

```

in my class i have the following relevant code:

```auto

private var movieToLoad:*;
public function mySiteLoader(movieLoad:*){
   movieToLoad = movieLoad;
   movieToLoad.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
   movieToLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
}

```

This however, chucks an TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at me.

Any ideas appreciated 🙂
