Hi i am currently making a small section for my website and i need to know how to make my preloader function basically i have my main swf that then loads in my other swfs onto the stage, howere i have created a preloader that sits on the first frame of each of my swfs that i am loading in, they work fine when testing them on there own howere the preloaders dont seem to be showing when i am loading the swfs onto the main stage in the empty movie clip, should i be playing the preloader in the empty movie clip??? thanks
