</div>

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (!loaded && this.\_url != \_root.\_url) {  
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {  
loaded = true;  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“opening”);  
}  
}  
}

I’m loading external swfs using the code from this tutorial. [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)

It works when the URL is DIRECTLY pathed to the swf, but not when it is placed in an html page. any clue why?
