I want to make a photo album on my flash site. I want to preload the images in my movie…
But I don’t want to make a movie for every picture. I want to put in pictures very easily.
Is this possible and how or do I just have to make a preloader movie and use for every new picture ???

You could have a MC off stage that sequentially loops through an array containing the addresses of the pics you want to download. This MC would download and pre-cache your images and when you called them in the usual fashion the would be sitting in the cache.

But why bother ? Just preload the thing. I mean, I don’t see the use in having the pics in the cache if you can have them in the movie…
