I made a movie with three buttons that start 3 external movies using the loadMovie script.  
It took me a while, but with the help of all you lovely pro’s. it works!  
Now I want to add a preloader in front of it. I tried a couple tutorials, but couldn’t find one that handled the actionscript for this. Or is there one somewhere…

A beginner, yes…

regards

I guarantee this one works, I have used it many times.  
Just be sure to put it in the first 3 frames of your movie  
DO NOT use scenes or it won’t work…at least that was my experience.

You’re welcome. Glad I could be of some help. I am usually the one asking all the questions.

Those four pics are all actually paintings you did? (With the exception of the woman’s face maybe?)

Great work!
