I´m doind I small slideshow.  
The pictures will be loaded apart, and will have a preloader.  
I want to make the slideshow to play only after all the movieclip (pictures) are fully loaded on to the main movie.

How do I do that?

thanks

Something like this might work:  
[AS]var clips = [clip1, clip2, …, clipN];  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“preloader”, 9876);  
preloader.onEnterFrame = function() {  
for (var i=0; i\<clips.length; i++) {  
var bloaded = clips[\*\*\*\*i].getBytesLoaded();  
var btotal = clips[\*\*\*\*i].getBytesTotal();  
if (bloaded\>0 && bloaded == btotal) {  
clips.splice(i, 1);  
}  
}  
if (!clips.length) {  
// start slideshow here  
this.removeMovieClip();  
}  
};[/AS]  
Just put the instance names of your MovieClips in the _clips_ Array. 😛
