Preloader not working when image scroller present

Question

Hi:
I designed a .fla that involves a large panoramic image that
I stitched together in PhotoShop, then imported into the library
and made into a movie clip, I then have the movie clip of the
panoramic load into an image scroller (the one in the components
library) on the main timeline so you get the sense you are panning
through the photo. Within the movie clip of the panoramic there are
buttons in it that then call other movie clips to load another
movie clip on top of the image scroller.
code attached to the buttons is:
on(release){
_root.attachMovie("myMovie", "screen",1);
_root.screen._x =10;
_root.screen._y =425;
My issue is the file is so large that I have made created a
preloader.
If I load the movie clip of the panoramic directly onto the
timeline the preloader works fine...
When I try to load the imagescroller that calls the movie
clip my preloader does not work at all...
Does anyone have any ideas?
I will gladly supply you with any code you may need.
Thank you

Answer 1

Thank you for your information. It worked great as far as...I
could build a preloader and have the movie show up on the screen as
I wanted. Now for problem number two that has developed...
The MovieClipLoader that calls external .swf file. This is a
movie that has an image scroll bar that calls a movie clip that
scrolls a panoramic photo. Within that movie clip of the panoramic
I have buttons that then call other movie clips from the library
using
on(release){
_root.attachMovie("myModelScroll", "screen",1);
_root.screen._x =10;
_root.screen._y =425;
This is an example of what I am doing
I have a panoramic shot that is in an image scroller, that
panoramic is of a group of buildings each building has a button
next to it. Those buttons then call up another movie clip from the
library using the attachMovie clip to show another mini movie clip
of what the building looks like inside, and what the purpose is.
Issue:
The buttons within the movie clip that is loaded into the
image scroller fail to work. If I just load the .swf files into the
browser it works just fine...
but the issue is I have a huge file with an image scroller so
I need a progress bar and a MovieClipLoader function.
How do I now get the other code attached to the buttons
within the movie clip that says attachMovieClip to work within the
context.
I am so baffelled as to why it won't work...
Here is the code to my preloader and movieClipLoader
My actionScript skills are very limited so any help is
greatly appreciated but needs to be supplied in simple language.
Thank you very much
