Any way to include preload of external movies within the main movie?

1

hi everyone,

i currently have a movie (main_movie.swf) with a preloader taken from this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm

it preloads the main movie, but i need it to also preload an external movie (the whole thing is designed in such a way that it will look bad to have a separate preloader bar show up before the external movie comes in, and i can’t combine the two either).

does anyone know how to edit the actionsript for the preloader which sits in main_movie.swf (shown below) to also load an external movie (section2.swf)???

frame 1:

bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

frame 2:

this.gotoAndPlay(1);

thanks! i would so appreciate anyone’s help!
