![](http://www.flashmove.com/forum/images/smilies/help.gif) hi, before hand, thank you for your help, i am greatly troubled with this… i have one swf which only has AS and a “loading bar”, which is a 100 frame movie clip. what happens is this:

when you are int he preloader the 1 to 100 count repeats itself several times, one time for each file. this is a problem, it is a no go… what i need is that the 1 to 100 count runs only once and it runs ‘globally’ for all the files, not once for every swf file… this way, when you enter the preloader you see  
a 1 to 100 count once, yet all swf files were loaded during this 1 to 100 count… thank you very much… i’m posting the AS…

var loadingArr:Array = [“eahuatepec.swf”,“eahuatepecout.swf”,“echalma.swf” ,“echalmaout.swf”,“econtactos.swf”,“edelicias.swf” ,“edeliciasout.swf”,“eeros.swf”,“eerosout.swf”,“eg otocontactos.swf”,“egotoproyectos.swf”,“egototalle r.swf”,“eproyectos.swf”,“etaller.swf”,“emainesp.sw f”,“emaines.swf”];

function loadComplete(target\_mc:MovieClip, httpStatus:Number) {  
var getBytes:Object = myMCL.getProgress(target\_mc);  
loaded\_bytes += getBytes.bytesTotal; //Adds the files total to what has loaded thus far.  
nextItem++;  
if (nextItem \< loadingArr.length) {  
myMCL.loadClip(loadingArr[nextItem], target\_mc);  
} else {

loadMovie (“emaines.swf”, 0)//do whatever you need to do.
