Is there a way for a movie clip instance in a swf file to have it’s own preloader?

example:  
mymovie.swf has an instance of mc\_instance in it.  
mc\_instance loads different jpg files from an array of jpgs.  
user has control over next or previous jpg file review.  
since each jpg cannot have a preloader, is there a way for the mc\_instance to have a preloader itself.  
This is not a preloader for the whole movie on the main timeline.  
This preloader is within mc\_instance movice clip.

any help is grealy appriciated.

Thankx
