Flash Image Preloader

Hi -

I’m pretty new to Actionscript and I have a question. My goal is to have an intro movie that will load images, sounds and the short “exit movie” into the browsers cache.

Is Actionscript for Flash MX capable of such a task?

I’m an experienced web developer and know how to do this in javascript, however, I want to add a few subtle “bells and whistles” to a site I’m working on by using flash.

Thanks for any help!
