Preloader for a diffirent kind of project...?

programming flash
1

Hi there,
I need to make a preloader for a test project that is very diffirent and a little bit off-beat as it uses script that I have prostetuted from a variety of diffirent files, see (http://www.urbanbullet.co.za/preview/nmmu_explorer.swf might take a while to load as it has no preloader :slight_smile: and please note how it does load…), it scrolls the actual content of the site along the x axis in multiple speeds by using the following script 4 times for each layer/speed of content:

xpos = getProperty( _root.mainscroller.scrollerbg, _x);
xpos2 = xposnew-xpos;
xmove = xpos2/_root.speed4;
setProperty( _root.mainscroller.scrollerbg, _x, xpos+xmove);

The layers all travel at diffirent speeds and the content that is displayed are external .png’s and .swf’s
that load into four diffirent layer using their own loadMovie script that looks like this:
loadMovie(“content/01ExploreNMMU/exploreNMMU.swf”,“clip1”);
loadMovie(“content/02CampusLIFE/campusLIFE.swf”,“clip2”);
loadMovie(“content/03StudyNMMU/studyNMMU.swf”,“clip3”);
loadMovie(“content/04Research/research.swf”,“clip4”);
loadMovie(“content/05ContactUs/contactus.swf”,“clip5”);
loadMovie(“content/06Downloads/downloads.swf”,“clip6”);
loadMovie(“content/07Community/community.swf”,“clip7”);
and on one of the other layers uses the same function but pulls .png’s"
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/exploreMg.png”,“clip8”);
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/campusMg.png”,“clip9”);
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/studyMg.png”,“clip10”);
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/researchMg.png”,“clip11”);
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/contactMg.png”,“clip12”);
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/downloadsMg.png”,“clip13”);
loadMovie(“content/slider_images/mg/comunityMg.png”,“clip14”);
etc.
The actual files they are pulling are massive in file size and there fore I need to make a preloader that can cach all the content and then start to display the actual ‘content/sliders’ I dont even have an idea what kind of loader to use for something like this as I have already tried adding a little loading function (what the “clip1” “clip2” etc…) either I am making this to big of an issue and there is a realy simple way of doing this or there is none that will do what I require???
does anyone know of a way for me to pre load everything with one preloader simotaniously?
