Multi preload

programming flash

Hi,

I have 3 seperate holder clips on my main stage, into each of these loads a seperate jpeg.

I have a preloader with the % loaded showing and a little ‘downloading now animation’

Where do I put the preloader and the animation?
I am guessing that the preloader code can just be a function on the main time line. But where would I put the animation. It can’t be the main time line as there needs to be 3 seperate instances. Could I just use attachmovie to put the animations into the relevent holder clip, and would a function be able to work out more than 1 image loading at at time or would the code go on each holder?

Thanks!

um, i’d combine the total size of all three images and preload based on how much of the three combined has been loaded.

Thanks but that wouldn’t make sense on screen as each jpeg and prteloader is totally seperate in its own holder movieclip.
