Hello

I’ve been searching for an answer to this for a couple of days with no luck, and it seems so straight forward. All i want to do is create one preloader for loading multiple external .png’s simulatneously? The png’s urls are parsed into the animation using xml, the MC are created dynamically and assigned a url path composed of variables;  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#808080]_//…_[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080]_// parse xml_[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] renewalPath = theStage[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]attributes[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]path[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] renewalLHImgOne = theStage[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]firstChild[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]attributes[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]image[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] renewalLHImgTwo = theStage[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]childNodes[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]attributes[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]image[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] renewalRHImgOne = theStage[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]childNodes[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]2[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]attributes[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]image[/COLOR];  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] renewalRHImgTwo = theStage[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]childNodes[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]3[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]attributes[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]image[/COLOR];
