Preloading External Swf's

I hope this doesn’t sound too complicated.

What I want to do, is have a flash file open up…and a load bar start to fill up. This load bar will be loading about 7 external swf’s that make up the basic layout. After the preloading, there is a short transition and the external swf’s appear in a specific order, laid out on the timeline. One of the external swf’s is sort of an mp3 player, but this preloader I’m speaking of doesn’t need to preload the music, i have that figured out.

After that happens, I have a content box that will do all the loading from there, which I pretty much have figured out as well.

If anyone understands and can help please let me know.

thanks,
