I NEED help with preloading MC's!

Ok. I really need to figure out this problem. Here goes…

I am trying to build a website in flash at the moment and I have about 4 buttons that are active so far. I have each of these buttons load it’s own swf into a small window area underneath the buttons. Right now I have each each buttons using the _root.contents.loadMovie (“movie.swf”); script and other script on the side to link to this script and make it work. But I want to have a preloader that fully loads the swf into the window area before it displays it. Kind of like this. That example is almost exatly what I need. They are using a small window area to keep all of the content being loaded in. When a button is clicked, 2 doors close in on the area and a preloader starts, then the doors open and the content is loaded and there. I would really like to know how they went about doing all that…

I have provided my .fla file here so you can see what I have.

Someone please help me out here! Anybody! :frowning:

I believe that what you want is transitions.

Here is a tutorial.
