Ok, here we go. I noticed a lot of people having similar problems as me  
but not the exact same…

Here’s what i got:

- A main.swf with empty MovieClipHolders which load Multiple SWF files.  
The Main and the Multiple SWF files all load external jpeg’s and read from PHP.

Here’s what i don’t get to work:

- A preloader in the Main which checks and gives a percentage of all the stuff to  
be loaded (jpeg’s AND swf AND database (php) content). This preloader should  
preload the Main.swf and start to play this. In the background it should continue  
loading the other swf’s and jpeg’s.
- BUT when clicking a button which targets the other SWF, the (same) preloader  
should do his work.

I hope you get it and somebody can help me out… i really thougt this was an  
easy one…

Thank you
