I’m creating an image gallery and looking for a simple way to preload external jpegs (with % loaded) into an empty movie clip.  
I’m using thumbnails- there are no “next” or previous “buttons”.

I’m calling in the jpegs like this:  
thumb1.onRelease = function(){  
loadMovie (“images/homeR1.jpg”, empty);  
}

I’ve been googling/ searching all day-  
Any help would really ease my frustrations.  
Thanks in advance!
