Scene preloading

when i read the tutes for the preloaders…i noticed that they use the getBytesTotal command…

however this shows the entire amount of bytes in the entire movie right?

i want to have the 1st preloader to load just the index/menu…
and then have a separate loader for each link in that menu…

i’ve seen it done somewhere before…

would it help if each link was placed in it own scene within the movie??
or can it be done within 1 scene…?

those sites are separated swf’s loaded into a main swf [size=1][ your index/menu ][/size]

then you load each swf into a movie clip or level
there’s a tutorial about it in the tutorials section …
