</div>

using this code :

```php
on (rollOver) {
    loadMovieNum("homefire.swf", 1);
}

```

Will the animation be included in the total once I create a pre loader for the main stage? Why I ask is, I wan’t these animations to be ready once the page has loaded up, rather then flash loading them when the rollover has taken place, thus having a pause untill the download is complete.

So you want to add the preload size of the animation movie loaded into level1 and level0 together as one preloader. Or do you want a preloader in each seperate movie?

he’s asking if the loaded movie is part of the main movie and if the main preloader will preload all both at once!  
never thought of that… :-  
I think the main preloader will preload the main movie and then the loaded movie appears and it starts downloading and preloading the loaded one! :-\ might be wrong ofcors!

Yes, I wan’t the preloader to actually load Level 0, 1 and so on as some animations will be necessary rather quickly, and a pause while it downloading level 1 would ruin the effect.

I assume that standard pre loaders only load level 0, leaving the other levels to be loaded only when they are called for. I really need some of these levels to be ready once level 0 is ready.

Cheers

```php
//Frame 1
loadMovieNum("yourmovie.swf", 1);

//Frame 2
kbytes_total = (_level0.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + (_level1.getBytesTotal() / 1024);
kbytes_loaded = (_level0.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) + (_level1.getBytesLoaded() / 1024);
if(kbytes_loaded >= kbytes_total) {
	_root.gotoAndStop(4)
}

//Frame 3
gotoAndPlay(2);

//Frame 4
//Start of your movie

```

Excellent, thankyou for the code :D, I assume that I can continue to add which levels I require, any restriction in doing so (I only have a very basic Actionscript understanding).
