I’ve use the technique the “Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files” tutorial which is here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)

Everything is working fine, but I need sub category menu items in each loaded movie clip. For example, say I click the Gallery button…the gallery movie clip loads and then opens. Once it’s loaded, I want buttons in the gallery like: Printed Media, Photography, and Illustrations.

I have tried to figure it out, but it doesn’t work the way I want. The subcategories don’t load with a loader.  
Any suggestions?  
Thanks
