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

what type of preloader do you want?  
frame based or byte based. if you’re using MX you can use the component.

Thanks for your reply. I copied the preloader in the tutorial, and it works!
