I have actually employed more complex ones, but right now, I have this Flash file which uses a very basic Preloader, ie.: stop(); ifFrameLoaded (“end”) { gotoAndPlay (“start”); } I actually have two of them in the same file, one that goes halfway, and the other loads the end, so it looks more like this: stop(); ifFrameLoaded (“halfway”) { gotoAndPlay (“start”); } stop(); ifFrameLoaded (“end”) { gotoAndPlay (“start\_again”); } I’m using two preloaders for a nice dramatic effect, but the problem is that when test the movie in Flash, it works, but the SWF doen’t work outside the program, so I’m a little confused. Is there anyone out there that can help me? Just at least tell me why this can’t work (by the way, in case you couldn’t tell, I just recently upgraded from Flash 5 to Flash 8 Professional).
