If you want the word loading there, you could put that in static text on the stage and the jpg will load on top of it. If you want an actual preloader, I think you would have to make a different swf file and load in the movie instead of the jpg.

actually, you dont neccessarily have to have another swf with the jpg loaded into it…what you can do is load the jpeg into a movie clip like this…

mc.loadMovie(“pic.jpg”);

now as far as a preloader goes do something like this…

//load movie and pic  
\_root.pics.pic\_spot.loadMovie(\_root.galleryPic);

//loading seq  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“preloader”, 1000);  
pic\_spot.\_visible = false;  
preloader.onEnterFrame = function() {  
var l = pic\_spot.getBytesLoaded();  
var t = pic\_spot.getBytesTotal();  
per = Math.round((l/t)\*100);

```
if (l&gt;0 && l&gt;=t) {
	gotoAndPlay(13);
	pic_spot._visible = 1;
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
	_root.pics.loadBar._width = per;
	_root.pics.load_txt = per+"%";
}

```

};

“pic\_spot” here is the movie clip i loaded my pics into…all im basically doing is loading a pic into it and then turning the visibility off, grabbing the size of it and the size of it thats been loaded…your basic preloader kinda deal…

hope that helps
