am currently using this script to run through an array:

> swfArray = new Array(“images/indep/1.jpg”, “images/indep/2.jpg”, “images/indep/3.jpg”, “images/indep/4.jpg”, “images/indep/5.jpg”, “images/indep/6.jpg”, “images/indep/7.jpg”, “images/indep/8.jpg”, “images/indep/9.jpg”, “images/indep/10.jpg”, “images/indep/11.jpg”, “images/indep/12.jpg”, “images/indep/13.jpg”);  
> this.createEmptyMovieClip(“target1”,2);  
> this.createEmptyMovieClip(“target2”,1);  
> target1.loadMovie(swfArray[0]);  
> activeTarget = target1;  
> preview = null;  
> count = 0;  
> \_level5.nextButton.onRelease = function() {  
> if (count\<swfArray.length-1) {  
> count++;

> count = 0;

> preview = activeTarget;  
> activeTarget = (preview!=target1) ? target1:target2;  
> activeTarget.loadMovie(swfArray[count]);  
> activeTarget.swapDepths(preview)  
> alfa();

Previously i was pulling in swf files with this running the preloader:

> ```
> loaderInterval = setInterval (preloader, 10);
> 
> ```

function preloader() {  
if (\_framesloaded\>=\_totalframes) {  
gotoAndStop(2);  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
}  
progressBar.\_xscale = (framesloaded/\_totalframes)\*100;  
}  
is there a way i can add my current preloader to the array script so i pull in jpgs instead of swf files?
