Hello, I am using this tutorial here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_slideshow.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm)

But I want to preload **all** my images, and not have them load one by one as shown on the tutorial. Do I just tweak the preloader code (pasted below) or is this going to require a totally different code? By the way the images are going to be loaded from a URL inside an xml file, and not just a path from my images folder, not sure if that makes a difference.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

## Here’s the preloader code from the tutorial

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();  
preloader.\_visible = true;  
if (loaded != filesize) {  
preloader.preload\_bar.\_xscale = 100\*loaded/filesize;  
} else {  
preloader.\_visible = false;  
if (picture.\_alpha\<100) {  
picture.\_alpha += 10;  
}  
}  
};
