i have my movie set up to load an external swf or image into an empty movieclip which allows the image to streach to the full size of the browser window.

the question is that i want there to be a preloader on the transition between the images as they will be relatively large sizes, i want to recreate something similar to:  
[http://www.brook-pifer.com/](http://www.brook-pifer.com/)  
…where the preloader takes up the whole window similar to how the images will be working

not really too sure how id go about this  
any help would be great

thanks
