Hello,

I apoligize if this question has been asked and answered before I went through the past posts but couldn’t find anything.

So here is my problem.

I have an swf with an empty MC in which I load  
different swf files. When I click on the button that  
is supposed to load the new swf in the empty MC I  
first get a white blank screen for a tiny second and  
then it loads the new swf. This is the script I have  
on the button

on (release) {  
\_root.MC\_container.loadMovie(“new\_file.swf”);  
\_root.MC\_navigation.loadMovie(“NavBar.swf”);  
\_root.section\_check = 1;  
}

Any ideas on how I can avoid this from happening without using a preloader?

Thanks!  
Camilla
