I’m always conscious of the dial up user and because of this I use preloaders quite frequently. The only way that I have been able to manage preloading pictures is to make a swf with each image and a preloader within that swf. The main movie then calls in the swf. Because the amount of jpegs keeps getting larger and larger I would like to be able to just throw a bunch of jpegs in a folder and have a preloader within the main movie detect the amount of data being loaded. Is this even possible? Thanks in advance…
