Hi, I seem to have some troubles preloading some images.  
The imagepaths come from a xml file (but that doesnt really matter here)  
I already figured out that an MC looses its capability to onEnterFrame when you load a movie in it (loadMovie).  
The problem is that he only preloads the last image. can’t figure out why.  
traced my \*\*\* off…

numberOfFields = number of Links To Images in the xml file

for (var i=0; i\<numberOfFields; i++)  
{  
thisField = formFields\*;  
thisFieldProperties = thisField.attributes;  
thisFieldLink = thisFieldProperties.picLink;

depth = myForm\_mc\_global.photos\_mc.getNextHighestDepth();  
lomo\_mc = photos\_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“lomo\_”+i+"\_mc",depth);  
preload\_mc = lomo\_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“preload\_mc”,lomo\_mc.getNextHighestDepth());  
lomo\_mc.\_alpha = 0;  
preload\_mc.loadMovie(thisFieldLink);

lomo\_mc.onEnterFrame = function()  
{  
var totaal = lomo\_mc.getBytesTotal();  
var aantal = getBytesLoaded();  
trace(totaal);  
if(aantal \>= totaal)  
{  
//images is ingeladen  
lomo\_mc.\_alpha = 30;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
}  
}

thanx a lot!

ward.
