I am using this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm)  
and on the end i build in the preloaders like they explain to do.  
This works perfect.  
Now i want to try something else.  
The preloader is now included in all the external swf’s that i load.  
Now i dont want the preloader to be included in the external swf’s.  
I want a movieclip in my main fla that runs the preloader of those external swf’s. Is this possible ?  
Basically i want the preloader of the external swf’s to run in a different movieclip.  
Does somebody have a tutorial or a source file or maybe some good info ??  
Please let me know
