preloader question

[jaument]

I am currently using a percentage preloader to preload many of my .swf files into a blank movie clip. The problem is that I can not add the appropriate script to all of my .swf files because they have been produced with screen capute software and I do not have a .fla file to edit. Is there a way to preload .swf files without having the ability to edit the original .fla? You can see an example of my problem at:

Thanks for any suggestions.

What you want to do is put the preloading code in the main movie, then use a movie clip loader to monitor the swf's loading progress and update the preloader.

So just put one preloader on the main swf that you make, not on each swf.

A generic preloader like this one...

This seems to be working great for me, although my page has multiple blank movie clips that I need to add to the script. I assume I need to use dot notation to point to the blank MC I am using.
