Hi,

I was wondering how people make those little preloaders for individual movieclips (most commonly seen on liquidGUI sites.)

For example, say I had a group of 5 buttons which go through a MovieClipLoader, how would I go about attaching a little preloader animation over the top whilst it is loading?

I have tried playing around with attachMovie and duplicateMovieClip but it doesn’t seem to work as I’d hoped! (most of the time, it only loads one preloader, and not 5.)

Please Help!

Regards.
