Hi, Marie
The part of your description I am questioning is your statement about the
preload movie that says "and went to frame 8" - does this layer end at frame
8? That is, there aren't any blank frames on out to frame 22? This could
be the problem. Conceptually, anyway, I am picturing the preload movie not
existing after frame 8 so it can't keep playing until frame 22 is loaded?
Not sure, though, that I am following your description. If you send me the
fla I'd be glad to take a look...
