Hi guys,

I am trying to build a preloader that loads multiple external swf files with ONE big preloader, however I need a script that somehow gets the total bytes of all the external files. I just need something that checks it and returns a value that i can use later.  
Does anyone have something similar? I have been searching but no luck.  
All help greatly appreciated.

Thanx
