Hey all,  
I’ve been searching like a madman, trying to figure out how to construct a preloader for the thumbnails in the xml gallery here on Kirupa. So far, I’ve got

```auto
 
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
 nfilesize = tscroller.getBytesTotal();
 nloaded = tscroller.getBytesLoaded();
 thumbpreload._visible = true;
 if (nloaded != nfilesize) {
  thumbpreload.thumbpreloadbar._xscale = 100*nloaded/nfilesize;
 } else {
  thumbpreload._visible = false;
 }
};

```

I’m having 2 problems (that I know of)… I’m not sure that “tscroller” is the movieclip I want to preload for the thumbnails, and I can’t get my movieclip entitled “thumbpreload” (which is set \_visible = true; here) to show up. This preload function seems to conflict with the main image preloader and cause it to stop working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks guys
