Hi,  
I have this problem that I can’t solve and need your help.

So, I have many small SWF files (1-2kBytes) in a folder (“samples/”).  
Right now I have a loop that passes data writen fron an array to a **create\_holder** function which in turn loads external SWFs like so:

```auto
function createHolder(holderName:String, jMovie:String, parentClip:MovieClip, xPos:Number, yPos:Number):Void {
var newClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(holderName, parentClip.getNextHighestDepth());
var jClip:MovieClip = newClip.createEmptyMovieClip("jClip", newClip.getNextHighestDepth());
var dropShadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(4, 90, 0x000000, 0.5, 5, 5);
jClip.loadMovie(jMovie);
jclip._x = 0;
jClip._y = 0;
newClip._x = xPos;
newClip._y = yPos;
}

var PATH:String = "samples/";
var xStart:Number = 100;
var yStart:Number = 20;
	for (var i:Number = 0; i<tArray.length; i++) {
	createHolder(tArray*, PATH+tArray*+".swf",this, xStart, yStart);
	xStart += 32;
	}

```

What i can’t figure out is this:

1. how can I build a SINGLE preloader (0 to 100%) for all external SWFs ? I mean, NOT a preloader for each small SWF, but only one for entire bunch.

2. is it possible to load them into a SINGLE movie, so after loading I can move them all at once?

Thanks
