Hi Everyone,

I have several external swf’s I am loading into my main movie. I followed the tutorial located at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm) … and the transitions work great. The problem is that my preloader works in the main movie, but it doesn’t work in the external swfs when they are being loaded in. I have searched the forums, but haven’t found a solution for this problem. It doesn’t play the preloaders at all, just sits there until the browser has loaded them then all of a sudden they appear. My preloaders work, I have tested them many times to make sure. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? I need a preloader in every single movie, even the main one.

Thanks in advance.
