Preloader on Movie Clips

Is it possible to put pre-loaders on to movie clips?

Here’s what i’m trying to do. I am makeing a web page. I have movie clips which load external pictures (jpg’s) and put them into the movie clip using a mask. Now, to keep user’s at the page (as the jpg’s aren’t instantly loaded) i want to put pre-loaders in. Any help getting a preloader on the movie clip would be appreciated. :thumb:

This is the code that loads an image into the movie clip. It is loacated on its own layer (i.e. not attatched to the Movie Clip):

I’ve tried and tried again, but i haven’t got it to work yet [Note: that doesn’t mean much about the feasibilty of the pre-loader]. So, if anyone has done it before or thinks they know how to do it, POST :stare:

I have been searching for pre-loaders, the thing is all the ones i’ve found are designed for a whole movie not a movie clip. Also, please be kind, i’m new to Flash.

I’ve had a look at the link you gave and its great, wish i found it before. I’ll see if i can get it working from that tutorial.
