Preloaders! I can't seem to find one that will do what I need

I need a preloader that will load multiple jpg’s/swf’s but use only one bar or percent meter. (I.E get the total file size of all the images you want to load, then show the percent or loadbar length equivilent to the total percent loaded. I found a preloader that can load multiple files, but it counts up to 100% for each file so there is no way to know how far along in the total loading you are. Can anyone direct me in making a preloader that will do what I need, or maybe there is a component that will do this. Thanks!

Why not load your pictures into the containers, but have the containers positioned off the stage. When you need to show the picture assign new x and y coordinates to your container movie and blam, there they are, right where you need them, preloaded and all.

I have a frame that resizes to fit the image that is loaded into photoholderMC. I guess I could change the frame resize code so instead of targeting photoholderMC it targets a variable. And then I can set that variable equal to whatever of the 10 holderMCs i want it to resize to fit…

Although if I dont need to do that then that would be better. So, do you know if when a image is loaded into a MC it will stay in your cache, allowing you to load that image dynamically into a different holder without any load times (cause its in your cache)? Anyone know?
