Im having some problems on building my web site…
Im using a preloader, but i have many actions to load an external swf into a movie clip inside my main movie.
I was wondering, is it possible to also preload those external swf when loading my main movie?

You could add a preloader to your external swf files. That way when your external swf is loaded up there would be a preloader instead of an empty space. If you are using the percentagepreloader tut found here, remove ‘\_root’ from the code so it doesn’t revert back to your main movie.
If you mean load all the external swf at the same time as your regular movie - not sure. However, in my mind, that would defeat the purpose of using external swf…
