Hi, I’m trying to combine two techniques I’ve found on you site, the image pan ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/interactive\_image\_pan.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/interactive_image_pan.htm)) and the preloader ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/preloader\_as3\_pg1.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/preloader_as3_pg1.htm)). I’ve gotten both to work individually but the scripting for the preloader is specifically for an image where as i am trying to load a .swf. Ultimately I would like the image pan to be nestled within the preloader and not as an external file, i just don’t know the coding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, i can email the files I’m working with, however they are fairly similar to the ones found on your site.

Thanks,  
Chris
