[font=Comic Sans MS]Hey people, this is the first time i’m post on the forum, so i’m not too sure if i put this post in the catorgory, but anyway.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]I’ve been using flash for approximatly 6 months, still very useless at it, however i know my way around the majority of the program and know how to use the help panel ;o)[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]Right, so i’ve built most of my site and then i tested it. All went well until i got a friend to test it him being on 56k didn’t help the sitituation as he saw a blank screen most of the time (slow loading). So i decided to put preloaders into the site, putting one onto the main swf was no problem, simple as A-B-C. But i’ve got buttons that are in swf format and so are loaded externally into the main swf as MCs, problem is that these buttons come up as about 10k each and theres about 14 of these. So it takes time for them to load is well, making it look as if half the site is missing while they load. Tested in Flash using the download simulator.[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]Now what i want to do is create a preloader that will load each of the buttons in one go, as one MCs which sounds way out of my league to me, so if thats not possible then i wouldn’t mind it being done automatically one by one, but where each MC would be there would have to be a small pre-loading bar (percentage) which disappears after the MC is loaded.

[font=Comic Sans MS]I’ve spent almost 36 hours (literally) researching various possibilties and various different pre-loaders, but none of them seem to want to do what i need :o([/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]I’ve included an image of what I’m trying to achive, as i’m sure you will probably need to refer to it (i’ve never been too good at explaining stuff)[/font]
[font=Comic Sans MS]Massive thanks in advance, this is possibly my last resort, seen as i don’t know many people good with flash.[/font]
