Dear Flash users

I have just completed this short project which works great, many thanks!!!

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_component.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_component.htm)

i was wondering what links the loader component to the MC that loads. I’m very new to flash and can’t see how the two are connected?

Any help would be great!

many thanks for your time

Joe
