Yes, I know, yet another loadmovie+jpg+preload question. Please bare with me, I just need a pointer of how to load all the JPG’s using one preloader… I have one container MC ( **fotos\_mc** ) that loads 36 different MC’s with JPG’s in them:

```auto

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("fotos_mc",0)
	_root.fotos_mc._x = 0
	_root.fotos_mc._y = 0

for (i=1; i<totalFotos+1; i++) {
	_root.fotos_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("foto"+i+"_mc", i);
	_root.fotos_mc["foto"+i+"_mc"].loadMovie(caminhoFotos+"34_"+i+".jpg");
	_root.fotos_mc["foto"+i+"_mc"]._alpha = 0;
}

```

I first tried to preload the **fotos\_mc** but that didn’t work, it just went along to play the movie even though all the pictures were not loaded… does that mean I will have to preload each and every different picture MC? Can I just preload it’s parent MC, which would be **fotos\_mc**.

Thanks.
