Title: Could someone help me resolve error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Com

---

Dear friends, when I try to load a single child swf in parent swf using the following code and simulate download, my preloader shows progress, it goes from 0% to 100% and plays animation located on next frame.

CODE IN PARENT SWF:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader ();
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("clip4.swf");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
stage.addChild(myLoader);


CODE IN CHILD SWF:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);

function loaderF(e:Event):void {
	var toLoad:Number=loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
	var loaded:Number=loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
	var total:Number=loaded/toLoad;
	if (loaded==toLoad) {
		removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
		gotoAndStop(2);

	} else {
		preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scaleX=total;
		preloader_mc.bytesPercent.text=Math.floor(total*100);

	}
}


	
}

But when I try to load an array of child swf's using the following code and simulate download, my preloader does not work, i.e., does not go from 0% to 100% and output shows: error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

CODE IN PARENT SWF:

var clips:Array=["clip0.swf","clip1.swf","clip2.swf","clip3.swf"];
var index:int=0;
var swf_no:Number=0;

// Stuff to load swf files
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);

var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var thisRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest((clips[index]));
thisLoader.load(thisRequest);

stage.addChild(thisMC);// Add empty MC initially so the nextClip function can be generic

function doneLoading(e:Event):void {
	thisMC.stop();
	stage.removeChild(thisMC);
	thisMC=MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
	thisLoader.unloadAndStop();
	stage.addChild(thisMC);
	thisMC.play();
}

CODE IN CHILD SWF:

Same as above.

My guess is it is happening because here I am loading my child swf's in an empty movieClip, I searched a lot on the net, as guided there, I further traced it using following code:

thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
function errorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
throw new IOError(e.text);
}

I got this in output panel:

Error: Error #2036: Load Never Completed. URL: file:///C|/Users/san/Desktop/greatPlayer/clip4.swf
	at testingPreloader_fla::MainTimeline/errorHandler()
	at flash.display::Loader/_unload()
	at flash.display::Loader/unloadAndStop()
	at testingPreloader_fla::MainTimeline/doneLoading()

I am new to flash, how can I make the preloader work? what changes should I make in the code so that preloader works? how can I reference preloader from a dynamic empty parent movieclip, can someone guide me as to how I can get the preloader working? thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.
