Hi  
I am wondering if somebody could give me some advice.  
I am creating some elearning and I plan to have a shell that has navigation interface included. I then want to pull in external SWFs of the modules. So I created a holder\_mc movieclip and am loading the clip using:  
holder\_mc .loadClip(“m” + mod + “.swf”, holder\_mc.contentHolder\_mc.content\_mc);  
I am preloading the swf with a preloader animation, but do I need to use a preloader in the external swf to preload its content.  
I would be grateful if anyone can give me any advice.  
Regards
