Sounds good guys! One minor update to think about before we are at the pub though. The problem only occurs when loading a rather large SWF. If it's a small one (20k or so) or it's on my local computer, then the MovieClip loads up, it is an actual MovieClip and all of the properties including _visible work just fine. I'm assuming that is because enough of it is loaded to be a full fledged MovieClip with these case so that calling movie._visible inside of the onLoadStart() method doesn't cause any problems.
I'm not sure what extending MovieClip has to do with this situation, nor am I sure that it's feasible in my case, but I would love to hear your thoughts. See you guys soon! Ummmm beer... -Chris On 8/23/06, Peter Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
