If i have 5 different movie clips on the stage, and i have them all load image.jpg, are there any dangers/problems i should kno about?

I have the preloader counting all 5 mc’s bytesloaded and bytestotal, even tho they are loading the same image.

It seems to work ok in firefox, but maybe not in IE…

please tell me if you see any errors in IE (erratic loading for instance, and playing before all is loaded…)

and if there are any suggestions to help … thanks 😏
