It works, more or less… But why don’t you put the preloader in your mainfile, so have you have one for all your external movies? scotty(-: ---

In your main movie, make a mc with the instancename “loadbar” and a textfield instancename “loadinfotxt”. ```auto MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) { this._alpha = 0; this.loadMovie(pic); loadbar._visible = 1; this._parent.onEnterFrame = function() { var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded(); var per = Math.round((l/t)*100); loadbar._xscale = per; loadinfotxt.text = per+" % loaded"; if (t != 0 && t==l && containerMC._width != 0 && containerMC._height != 0) { var w = containerMC._width+spacing, h = containerMC._height+spacing; border.resizeMe(w, h); loadbar._visible = 0; loadinfotxt.text = " "; delete this.onEnterFrame; } }; }; ``` scotty(-: ---

Did you, when testing your movie, hit CTRL+Enter again or tested it on line? scotty(-: ---

Hmm, in my link I used your files, the only thing I’ve changed is adding a (big) picture (500kb) to the swf to be loaded, to see if it worked… scotty(-: ---
