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.
