Hey Guys, I was working on the Tutorial [Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm) , and I got the tutorial to work, but I was trying to apply it with a site I’m working on, it won’t work.

You didnt have any code applied to the actual preloader from what i saw. Use this modified version of your .fla and it will work. :c) [http://www.cyberwebs.org/test/eNew.fla](http://www.cyberwebs.org/test/eNew.fla) ~ Seretha :love: ---

you should post the most current file you are working on, or maybe start over on the last file that was provided. sometimes it something small like a semicolon, or just a fluke that will throw the whole file off. ---

Thanks claudio… i fixed that part, but when i click on HOME, for some reason it does not work. I think I should start over and see how it’s gone come out, or is there an easy way to fix this. even the pre-loading… thing is some kind of line.
