I have a problem with my preloading.  
I have a flash file that needs to load 11 external swf’s

So i have 11 MC’s called Imgbox1 till 11  
I am loading the external swf’s with the function

imgbox1.loadMovie(“1.swf”);

This works correct but now i want to add a preloader to the external swf’s and this is not working because when i add a preloader to it that i found in this tutorial :

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p…epreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)

Then the preloader is not running. I dont know why this is not working.  
What i also want to make is a custom preloader so not a bar or a percentage loader.

Can somebody help me ?
