    Preloader Error

    I used the code below to make a preloader and it works fine when I try it locally, but gives me the following error when I try to use it in a website: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found." The preloader is a swf that pulls in another swf after it loads. Also when I use the swf that the preloader is pulling in, it also works. Any suggestions?


    Code:
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
    l.load(new URLRequest("myswf.swf"));
    
    function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void {
    	var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
    	percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
    }
    
    function done(e:Event):void {
    	removeChildAt(0);
    	percent = null;
    	addChild(l);
    }

    maybe your myswf.swf file isn't located directly next to your preloader swf, because that where you are linking to right now.

    If you've put it inside of a folder, try using:
    l.load(new URLRequest("folderName/myswf.swf"));

    If it's on a higher level, try:
    l.load(new URLRequest("../myswf.swf"));
    in which each ../ takes you up one level

    It was a path issue. Thank you!
