Preloaders

[FEK315]

Is there any way to preload external movies in a Main Movie, so that when the Main movie plays the external movie is has already been cashed?
My preloader is in a Main Movie, I have written
loadMovie("externalMovie.swf") and unloadMovie("externalMovie.swf") in separate frames after the preloader but before the StartMainMovie frame.
I can't get this to load the external movies. Is this the wrong way to do this?
Will Flash load those movies, cash them and then move onto the StartMainMovie frame?
Is my only option to make a preloader for each externalmovie?
:eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

FEK315...OUT!

It's possible, but I don't know the exact code to accomplish it. I believe it has to do with levels in Flash. Sorry I can't be of more help with this.
