[size=1]hi everyone.  
I need a preloader… that exists in the timeline of a certain main movie that is already loaded.

I want this preloader to be used for loading several external swfs (these swfs do not have a preloader of their own… )… so I don’t have to put the preloader in each external file loaded.

* * *

I am using now a preloader from kirupa thas is very simple… uses a mc that contains just a text box. the actions are :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
var bytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
var bytes\_loaded = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes) {  
gotoAndPlay(2);  
this.kirupatxt = “movie loaded”;  
} else {  
gotoAndStop(1);  
this.kirupatxt = “loading (” + parseInt(bytes\_loaded/1024) + “/” + parseInt(bytes/1024) +" ) ";

}  
}

if this helps…  
thanks[/size]

PS: I would kill for a made example… !! 😛 tell me what actions for the button… what actions for whatever moviclipe there is there… everything 😛
