    Oldnewbie,
    Yeah i have a single generic preloader used for all the loaded movies, and then there is the separate one for the main movie..do u see what im talking about....like the generic one loads up each movie in mtclip...and the one for the main site is in the loader scene...

    No! You're not getting what I'm saying! I'm talking of a single generic preloader that would be in the loaderprob movie ONLY(I gather what you've called your main movie in this case...), and NOT BE repeated in each individual external movie as the nike4 one and the other movies also... Understand?

    Right then, then let me re-phrase:

    Where might I be able to acquire your preloader file or sample code so that I might view it in all its glory? LOL

    Brian... Stop busting in the conversation I'm trying to have with Akim!

    It's posted in one of my first posts in this thread where I offer him a look at my generic preloader! Good enough cue for you!

    Now silence!

    I do actually get what ure saying mate! Thats exactly what ive been doing check out this file right here..the nike4.fla has no preloader in it at all the preloader for nike4 is located in the main movie timeline like you are suggesting...its called preloader movie symbol...

    i do understand exactly what sure saying....if u see my site...www.evindempsey.com.....it uses the exact same preloader for each movie and that preloader is in the main movie...

    so do u see what im saying now!! hehe...cheers...

    Ok! Sure you've posted the right files this time?

    Why then did the other previous nike4.fla have a preloader scene?

    And if you were using those previously on the site, then maybe that was simply the problem!

    Sure about the files now?

    Don't have much time before I hit the sack, so answer quickly!

    No! Still at it!

    Don't like that code more than I liked Brian's suggested tutorial...

    But my main problem is that I'm seeing two load bars, one top pale one, and another reddish one, when the preloader gets into action, but I can't simply find out where those 2 bars are coming from!

    Also, curiously have no pictures in your last nike4.fla, but that the least of my problems...

    Ok! Just got rid of the bars! Think I have as many different files of this as you have... And was probably using the wrong ones!

    So if I've now got this right, you'd only be now showing some percentage display and no longer any bars, is that right?

    Ok! Got the bar and percentage back! Although the percentage at that color... Well, anyways!

    The code used is probably the cause for this not working...
    I can change it, but that may have to wait until morning...
    I'm pretty waisted and almost drunk as a matter of fact!

    How important is the displaying of this faked "waiting for server bit"?

    Thing is I'm not on beer but Grappa... Might not be up at 7:00 fresh and eager to get back at this... If you get what I mean...

    I guess I'll be around at some point... But maybe by then Brian will have come up with something brillant! You never know!

    Nighty!

    But will get to the bottom of this after dinner, before I get drunk again, it's a promise!
