FLASH: PRELOADER HELP

[Bob Weinacht]

Hello everyone,


I am having a problem with my preloader and am sure

the solution is simple, but my brain refuses to help

me out.....


I have two SWFs each with their own HTML file:

preloader.swf (which is embedded in preloader.html)

and main.swf (which is embedded in main.html)


What I want to happen is thus: While preloader is

looping through a sequence, main.swf is preloading.

Once main.swf has been preloaded (or cached) the

preloader movie launches the main.html file.


I have been using the load movie action with the

target being another movie clip (instance name dummy)

whose alpha is set to 0%.  The script looks like this:


Load movie ("main.swf", "/dummy")


My "if frame is loaded" action looks like this:


if frame is loaded (/dummy, 1)

  Get URL ("main.htm")

end frame loaded



This is not working! When the main.html file is

launched, the main.swf file is obviously not loaded. 


I would greatly appreciate your help. My first born

child is up for grabs if necessary.


Thanks so much,


Bob
