Hi…

As you can tell I’m new here, but I’m not that new to Flash. I’m using Flash MX for my Multimedia course end-of-year project in New Zealand, and none of my tutors have dealt with what I’m doing! I’m making an online visual role-play game (Demo version!) in Flash MX.

My Problem Is:  
I have seperate .swfs I’d like to load in one main movie .swf.  
Seems simple, and I’ve read the tute here (Transitional .swfs) but I need to be able to load the majority of .swfs before the movie even starts, in one big preloader at the begining.  
Also, none of my RPG scenes have intro/outro sequences (Which would make file size huge!) so I’m not quite sure how to deal with that either.

\*\*If you know ~  
\*how to preload external swfs  
_of someone who could help,  
 or something similar I could see as an example,  
Please don’t hesitate to reply!_

I’ll do some tests and see what happens.  
Posting more info later…
