Hi,

I’ve been looking and trying a bunch of preloaders for the following action without luck;

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“picture1.png”, \_root.photo.empty);  
}

In an empty movie clip named “photo”.

Works wonderfully, but need a preloader. Can someone please give me the action for a simple percentage preloader?

thanks for the help.
