Hey teamliquid,  
This post would probably better be answered in the ActionScript forum so I’m moving it there.

Cheers!

You could use loadMovie() for each page. That way it will load your main page. Then you can just add a seperate preloaded onto your next page (which will actually be a seperate movie) and you can use loadMovie to show it in your main movie.

EDIT: Here is a link to a Kirupa tutorial on how to use loadMovie. It doesn’t use it the way you want to, but it will at least teach you how loadMovie is used.

You need to add the preloader script you are using onto the movie you want to load.
