I had an external swf loading nicely into a scrollpane but after adding 2 frames at the beginning of this external swf (to have a preloader), I noticed the scrollpane component disregards the preloader entirely and instead behaves as though its not there. If I test the external swf by itself, the preloader works fine. I saw someone else post this issue a while back but no one had provided an answer.

I am sure many people out there prepare swfs destined to be viewed thru the main movie’s scrollpane - how do you guys integrate the preloading?

Thanks!
