If so, how far in that class is your build advancing? Try setting trace statements in checkFrame and startup methods. Pjbaron, I wonder if you have marked the Preloader class to “Always Compile”?

The "Frame 2:start tags" (in your class browser image) need to be added manually and I'm having great trouble finding the article I used last time I needed to do this.

An idea that I want to chech is maybe you have a different classpath? It is hard for me to debug by not seeing it.

I put it in my project directory where my Main class is, and I still get an error saying it doesn't know what Main is when it is supposed to switch to my document class. I did that thing "-frame start Main" in that spot.. so any ideas on why it's not working? I'd appreciate your help. Thanks for sharing the preloader by the way. I hope I can use it. :) Thanks So I tried to add the preloader to my project.

I have not tested, but I don't think there should be any problem. 1) Flashvars can be accessed from any place as long as it has a reference to the stage, also the Main.as as long as the ADDED_TO_STAGE event is caught. And in other situations there is always a possibility to store the flashvars in Preloader.as and in Main.as access them trough the parent property. 2) SWFAddress does not need to have any connection to the stage whatsoever, the job is done by accessing ststic methods of SWFAddress class. There are no changes required if you are adding the preloader logic to a project. This is not like loading another swf who is not in the same ApplicationDomain and SecurityDomain.
