Hello all!  
I was modifying the tutorial for a Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files - for reference, it’s located here…  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)

I have [almost] everything working beautifully, but have been stumped at getting the initial screen to load, and am at my wits end…

the directory containing all of the files is located here:  
[http://faculty.cmsu.edu/twhite/kirupa/](http://faculty.cmsu.edu/twhite/kirupa/)

The directory contains all of the files to display, and .fla for any code inspecting…  
postcard.swf loads container.swf into it (which in turn loads 2 other swfs into container…). container.swf houses the preloader and transitions. This file seems to work wonderfully on it’s own, but when I try to view postcard.swf, it will not display the initial movie (when i use the buttons to view the other swfs - they work great).

The easiest way to see what I’m talking about, is to first view container.swf - this will display the movie that i’m talking about…

then view postcard.swf, and you’ll notice that it does not display.

I am really frustrated… I’m almost positive that it’s a targeting issue, but have exhausted all of the possibilities I could think of.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated, as I’m running out of time on this project. Don’t hesitate to contact me if I was unclear, you you need more info.

Thanks!
