Hi ,

I have used this wonderful tutorial and it is actually working in my swf! I am so happy because it’s been terrible trying to find a preloading solution for my image gallery which has a script that must be kept on the first frame. The only thing now is that my buttons are in a sliding menu and so the external jpgs being loaded are sliding as well. I am wondering , is there any way with this script to place the “container” or empty mc and the loading bar etc. in a different mc than the buttons? That is the container where the images are loading into and the loading bar be in a different place to the buttons?

Thanks for the help,
