loadMovie error

[herre]

Hello guys,

I'm stuck here. I've made a newslist, with lots of flas mx components in it wich are filled up with xml-data. When I run the swf, everything works fine.

Now I want to preload the movie, so I make a new .fla where I add the following code:

----------------------------------------------------
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc", 0);
var mc = _root["holder_mc"];
mc.loadMovie("nieuwslist.swf");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var p = 100*mc.getBytesLoaded()/mc.getBytesTotal();
if ( p >= 100 ) {
mc._visible = true;
}
}
----------------------------------------------------

The preload works fine, my nieuwslijst.swf is preloaded, but then it goes wrong: all the component fields are empty.

It seems to me that it only works when I use :
------------------------------------------
_root.loadMovie("nieuwslijst.swf");
------------------------------------------

But then I don't have a preloader of course .

I have loaded the nieuwslijst.swf, fla and xml in a zip:

Does somebody now what I'm doing wrong ?

Kindly regards,

Herre

sounds like a path problem

all works with swf but not when loaded in holder_mc

you are going to have to add holder_mc to the paths for the data to show

Or change your references to _root in the loaded movie to the appropriate this and/or 1 or more _parent's...
Or if you're on MX2004, try _lookroot...
