Well dude, 1st of all thankx for the help… i not exartly looking for loadmovie or transition but looking for a external preloader with loading bar.

well lets take a example of the transition when i click on any button it goes to the \_root.transition and playes the “close frame” and there it start Loadmovie is used on that close frame to load a external movie. Yea thats righ… thats the way a external movie suppose to load. but i want the same way but with a loading bar. 🙂 other then only loading text appear.

regards,
