[FONT=Arial]Hi![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]This is my first post to the Kirupa forums… I would greatly appreciate any help at all.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I have this “index.swf” I load several .swf’s into - one is the navigation (navigation.swf) another is the main illustration (intro.swf) of my site.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]“intro.swf” is loaded into an empty MC called “container”. What I want to do is only to load “navigation.swf” if “intro.swf” has loaded into the container.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I’ve tried all kinds of variations on my script but can’t seem to get it to work - here’s how it look at the current stage:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=blue]container(“intro.swf”, 1).getBytesLoaded/container(“intro.swf”, 1).getBytesTotal;  
if (container(“intro.swf”, 1) == Loaded);  
loadMovie(“navigation.swf”, 2);[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black]Any ideas on how to fix this? [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Thanks in advance,[/FONT]
