urgent - loading external animated MC

[flyingtrapeze]

Thanks for your speedy help in advance!
I'm trying to meet site deadline, and am about to be toast.

I have 2 challenges related to loading external animated MC.
I'm able to externally load static MC.
I can load animated MC, but they halt in mid-animation.

For example:

----------------------------
main.swf file
-containing movie clip holder ("sliderHolder")
-that loads an external slider menu ("slider.swf")
----------------------------

Problem = "slider" does not load completely.



I tried to make a new MC "slider".
I cut and pasted all the frames of "slider.swf" into MC
Then I put MC slider onto first frame of "slider.swf"
Animation stopped.


Thoughts? Thanks.

What's the code for the load? Do you have a loop until it is fully loaded?

Hi Red Penguin:

The code is

loadMovie ("slider.swf", "sliderHolder");


Nope, don't see a loop there.
Suspect you are talking about the same
kind of loop as found in a preloader.

Will go investigate. Appreciate any suggestions you
might have.
thxs!
