hey all…hows everyone doing?

here is my problem…I have a site that loads external .swf’s into one main movie clip…pretty much like the kirupa tutorial. for each of my sections…print, video, interactive, photography i have mini thumbnails of my work that are buttons. when clicked on they load a larger image into another movie clip on the stage. each larger image is its own .swf file.

I want preloader displayed when each larger image(or swf) loads. where would i put the code? do i place it in the larger image swfs like i would for my regular site pages?

let me know. thanks?:hr:
