hey all

im after a preloader that, instead of a load bar mc, has an mc with 5 frames. So at 20%, the mc is at frame 1, 40%, frame 2, etc. Basically a simple preloader that divides the percent loaded by 2, then jumps to the frame number that correlates to the percent loaded of the mc on the stage. Anyone able to point me to a tute or lend a hand?

cheers
