Yes it works fine in a regular embed.  Here's the .AS script.  The
movieclip bar_mc loads but doesn't show any progression.  clip_mc
doesn't seem to load at all.

i've used swf files for preloading on projects without any issues - have
you tested it with a 'normal' embed vs. the swfobject, and made sure
that you have all the same parameters and variables the same?

	Hello:
	 
	I am working with your SWFObject and am very pleased with it in
most applications.  However I am having difficult time implementing the
object with on Flash movie in particular.  This movie is really a
container object that calls and loads, through a preloader, four
external SWF's.  When used with SWFObject, the container movie loads;
the preloader images appear but don't run through their onLoadProgress
cycles; and the external movies never load.  Any ideas on how to solve
this issue?
