Hey Everyone, Im working on my personal portfolio (again) and I want a general preloader that I can use on my main movie that loads all my sub SWFS that load in my container. How would I target a variable movie loading into my container mc? Does this make any sense? Please ask if you have any questions!  
Thanks
