its too large to upload with all the swfs but the main thing is all made on one frame with nothing on the stage and here is the code on the timeline  
//“btn” is a button  
mA = ;  
mcopyA = ;  
myText.swapDepths(1000);  
myText\_mc.swapDepths(1009);  
movieNum = 6;  
j = 0;  
for (var i = 0; i\<movieNum; i++) {  
clip = [createEmptyMovieClip(“paper”+i, 20-i), “movie”+i+“.swf”];  
mA.push(clip);  
mcopyA.push(clip);  
but = attachMovie(“btn”, “btn”+i, i+100);  
but.\_x = but.\_width+but.\_width_i;  
but.\_y = 300;  
but.myText.text = i;  
but.ivar = i;  
but.onPress = godknows;  
}  
function loader(mc, gw) {  
myText\_mc.mytext.text = mA+" "+mA.length;  
var loading = Math.floor(mc.getBytesLoaded()/1024);  
var total = Math.floor(mc.getBytesTotal()/1024);  
percent = loading/total;  
myText.loading\_txt = Math.floor(percent_100)+" % loaded "+mc.\_name;  
if (loading\>=total && loading\>1) {  
showUp(gw);  
mc.isLoaded = true;  
endLoading(mc);  
}  
}  
function endloading(k) {  
mA.splice(0, 1);  
clearinterval(myInterval);  
if (mA.length\>0) {  
loadMovie(mA[j][1], mA[j][0]);  
myInterval = setInterval(loader, 20, mA[j][0]);  
} else {  
myText.loading\_txt = “DONE”;  
trace(“finished”);  
trace(mA.length);  
finished = true;  
}  
}  
function showUp(Klip) {  
//for (var i = 0; i\<mcopyA.length; i++) {  
//mcopyA\*[0].\_visible = false;  
//}  
mcopyA[Klip][0].\_visible = true;  
mcopyA[Klip][0].swapDepths(90);  
mcopyA[Klip][0].play();  
}  
function godknows() {  
clearInterval(myinterval);  
p = this.ivar;  
if (mA.length\>0 && mA.length\<=mcopyA.length && mcopyA[p][0].isLoaded != true) {  
for (var k = 0; k\<mA.length; k++) {  
if (mA[k] == mcopyA[p]) {  
myvar = mA.splice(k, 1);  
mA = myvar.concat(mA);  
mytext.isloaded = mA[0];  
}  
}  
loadMovie(mA[0][1], mA[0][0]);  
myInterval = setInterval(loader, 20, mA[0][0], p);  
delete myvar  
} else if (mA.length\>0 && mA.length\<=mcopyA.length && mcopyA[p][0].isLoaded != false) {  
showup(p);  
trace(mcopyA[p][0].isLoaded);  
myInterval = setInterval(loader, 20, mcopyA[p][0], p);  
} else {  
trace(mcopyA[p][0].isLoaded != false);  
showup(this.ivar);  
}  
}  
loadMovie(mA[j][1], mA[j][0]);

hi stringy, what if you want to load certain swfs into the main swf. say you want A.swf to load first before B.swf and than once B.swf loaded to load C.swf etc. I be using variables.

you can just do it on different frames if you want

egfirstframe  
stop();  
createEmptyMovieClip(“paper”, 1);  
paper.\_x = 50;  
paper.\_y = 50;  
assessLoad = function (clip) {  
var kbLoaded = Math.floor(clip.getBytesLoaded()/1024);  
var kbTotal = Math.floor(clip.getBytesTotal()/1024);  
percent = kbLoaded/kbTotal;  
percent\_txt.text = Math.floor(percent\*100)+“%”;  
if ((kbLoaded == kbTotal) && kbTotal\>1) {  
percent\_txt.text = “”;  
// do whatever  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
\_root.play();  
}  
};  
loadMovie(“movie1.swf”, paper);  
myInterval = setInterval(assessload, 50, paper);

second frame

stop();  
createEmptyMovieClip(“paper1”, 2);  
paper1.\_x = 250;  
paper1.\_y = 250;  
loadMovie(“movie2.swf”, paper1);  
myInterval = setInterval(assessload, 50, paper1);

third frame

stop();  
createEmptyMovieClip(“paper2”, 3);  
paper2.\_x = 450;  
paper2.\_y = 150;  
loadMovie(“movie3.swf”, paper2);  
myInterval = setInterval(assessload, 50, paper2);

just made it for you  
[http://www.gifsrus.com/testfile/fadeinout/multiloader.swf](http://www.gifsrus.com/testfile/fadeinout/multiloader.swf)

you`ll have to upload to the web to see with movie1.swf etc in the same folder
