Preloader to Actionscript Problem

[rmmcclay]

New here...first post.

I've built many projects over the years using Flash.
In fact I started with FutureSplash 1.0. But I've
been out of the loop and am trying to re-educate myself
about all the new ways of doing things in Flash, for
example: actionscripts.

I hope someone can look at the attached source FLA
and help me understand how to go from the preloader
to the "fadegrid" movie (which is an actionscript). I've
banged my head on this for two days and I'm stuck.

Obviously I'm missing something major here: the
preloader works, but then when it goes to frame
3 the actionscript which is at that frame doesn't
run.

If I remove the preloader frames (there are 2),
the fadegrid actionscript works fine.

[I'd also like a tip/clue on how to have several
"fadegrid"'s one after another with different
background images. But maybe this should be
another thread.]

Really appreciate all the great posts here and
the community spirit.

Your'e missing a very simple aspect, you forgot to put the stop(); action on the third frame to prevent it to loop back to frame one. Take care.:)
