gotoAndLearn Preloader and FlashEff

Hey,
I´ve build an preloader like it´s descripte at an gotAndLearn.com tutorial. It´s kind of external swf loading.
See the code below:

var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));

function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
	var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
	percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
}

function done(e:Event):void
{
	removeChildAt(0);
	percent = null;
	addChild(l);
}

The problem I´ve with this is, that the FlashEff Component did not work in the loaded "content.swf" which includes the FlashEff animation I use.
Any advice how I can modify the preloader code to make it run??? I´m an AS3 newbie ;-)

I checked the code and it works fine for me.
I have no idea why yours dosn't work so please attach your files(preloader and the preloaded fla) and send them to our support geeks team and they will fix them for you.

Alright, will do it later, still at work ;-)
Thanks for support!!!

Okay,
here the problem.
If I´m using FlashEff on a mc in the loader.swf and FlashEff in the content.swf I recieve the following Error.

FLASHEFF2 ERROR: The pattern 'com.jumpeye.flashEff2.symbol.squareEffect.FESBlurSquare' is missing from library.
	at FlashEff2/set showTransitionName()
	at FlashEff2/setProperties()
	at FlashEff2/set xmlString()
	at content_fla::MainTimeline/content_fla::__setProp___id7__Scene1_stuff_1()
	at content_fla::MainTimeline$iinit()

Drag the FESBlurSquare in the library.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

I´m not sure how.
Do you mean the FESBlurSquar from the content.swf library to the preloader.swf library. This one still exist their.
And If I copy the FlashEff square which is used on stage in the content.swf on the preloader stage and then to the preloader libary it will jump from preloader to content but the Eff in content.swf didn´t work??

You'll need to import the FESBlurSquares pattern in the content.swf. Open your component panel and look in the patterns folder, you'll find it there. Drag it to stage.
Compile the file before trying to load it into another swf.
If you are not how to drag it, just open the panel and select the pattern again and it will automatically import it.
In the preloader stage you don't need anything related to FlashEff.
Let me know if you have other problems.

Thnaks,
but the error occours on the Eff who isn´t in the preloader.swf libary.
Example: I use the blur on an mc in the preloader.swf anf an FlipEFF in the content.swf on an mc. The errors messages revals the FlippEFF.
So I import the FippEFF on the preloader stage. I compile it and at the beginning it looks fine....no error message but know the FlippEFF in the content.swf does not work??
Sorry for circumstances man!!!!

Should I send you the two swfs???

Hmmm,
so If changed the Eff in the content to an DuplicateEff, imported in the preloader.swf an it works!!!
Okay, think thats it for my part!!!!
