[FMX]Preloader isn't working for initial picture

Hi Guys,

I have made a dynamic picture album with the following code:

for (var i = 0; i<=6; i++) {
 var t = this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
 var c = t.createEmptyMovieClip("picHolder", 0);
 var thumb = "portfolio/pic"+i+"_t.jpg";
 c.loadMovie(thumb);
 t.picToLoad = "portfolio/pic"+i+".jpg";
 t.tekstToLoad = "portfolio/tekst"+i+".txt";
t.onRelease = t.onReleaseOutside=function () { 
 this.stopDrag();
 if (this.hitTest(mainPicContainer)) {
  this._y = mainPicContainer._y+10;
  this._x = mainPicContainer._x+10;
  if (currentActivePic != undefined) {
   currentActivePic.onEnterFrame = easeBack;
   }
   currentActivePic._visible = true;
   currentActivePic = this;   
   mainPicContainer.loadMovie(this.picToLoad);
   my_lv.load(this.tekstToLoad);
   this._visible = false;
   preloader._visible = true;
   abc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 1000);
   abc.onEnterFrame = function() {
   t = mainPicContainer.getBytesTotal();
   l = mainPicContainer.getBytesLoaded();
   per = Math.round((1-(l/t))*100);
   percent = Math.round(l/t*100);
   if (t == l && t != 0) {
   preloader.percent = "";
   preloader._visible = false;
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
   } else {
   preloader.percent = percent+" % loaded";
   preloader.bar._width = per*2.0;
   }
   
   };
   }
  }
 }
[color=red]mainPicContainer.loadMovie("portfolio/pic0.jpg");[/color]

The problem I have is that the preloader isn’t working for the initial picture (code in red) because i’m calling it outside the function, but when I place it inside the function, it isn’t loading at all. What should I change in my code to make the preloader also work for the initial picture?

Not tested, but something like this:

for (var i = 0; i<=6; i++) {
	var t = this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
	var c = t.createEmptyMovieClip("picHolder", 0);
	var thumb = "portfolio/pic"+i+"_t.jpg";
	c.loadMovie(thumb);
	t.picToLoad = "portfolio/pic"+i+".jpg";
	t.tekstToLoad = "portfolio/tekst"+i+".txt";
	t.onRelease = t.onReleaseOutside=function () {
		this.stopDrag();
		if (this.hitTest(mainPicContainer)) {
			this._y = mainPicContainer._y+10;
			this._x = mainPicContainer._x+10;
			if (currentActivePic != undefined) {
				currentActivePic.onEnterFrame = easeBack;
			}
			currentActivePic._visible = true;
			currentActivePic = this;
			preLoad(this.picToLoad);
			my_lv.load(this.tekstToLoad);
			this._visible = false;
		}
	};
}
function preLoad(pic) {
	preloader._visible = true;
	mainPicContainer.loadMovie(pic);
	abc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 1000);
	abc.onEnterFrame = function() {
		t = mainPicContainer.getBytesTotal();
		l = mainPicContainer.getBytesLoaded();
		per = Math.round((1-(l/t))*100);
		percent = Math.round(l/t*100);
		if (t == l && t != 0) {
			preloader.percent = "";
			preloader._visible = false;
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		} else {
			preloader.percent = percent+" % loaded";
			preloader.bar._width = per*2.0;
		}
	};
}
preLoad("portfolio/pic0.jpg");
