I current have about 20 thumbnails, that when I click them they load external jpgs on the stage.(for a porfolio section) I currently have this working. I am wondering how to go about setting up a preloader for each jpg. I currently have a preloader that is in the first scene of this flash document, if possible I would like to reuse the one that I already have? any ideas?

Currently my code for each thumnail is:

holder\_mc.\_width = 410;  
holder\_mc.\_height = 308;  
holder\_mc.loadMovie(“pics/pic01.jpg”);

thumbnail01.onRelease=function(){  
holder\_mc.\_width = 410;  
holder\_mc.\_height = 308;  
holder\_mc.\_alpha = 100;  
holder\_mc.loadMovie(“pics/pic01.jpg”);  
}  
thumbnail02.onRelease=function(){  
holder\_mc.\_width = 410;  
holder\_mc.\_height = 308;  
holder\_mc.\_alpha = 100;  
holder\_mc.loadMovie(“pics/pic02.jpg”);  
}  
thumbnail03.onRelease=function(){  
holder\_mc.\_width = 410;  
holder\_mc.\_height = 308;  
holder\_mc.\_alpha = 100;  
holder\_mc.loadMovie(“pics/pic03.jpg”);  
}  
thumbnail04.onRelease=function(){  
holder\_mc.\_width = 410;  
holder\_mc.\_height = 308;  
holder\_mc.\_alpha = 100;  
holder\_mc.loadMovie(“pics/pic04.jpg”);  
}

where thumbnail and pic are actually names.
