Hi!

I have a little problem, How do I make a preloader if I have only attached movieclips from the library, I know how to make a preloader but not for attached movieclips. The movieclips are attached from level 0 to 12, and I want one preloader to preload all levels at once, how do I do that? , Tried with a for loop to loop through all levels but it didnīt work.

Thanks

What I usually do is not to export the movieClips in the first frame (in the linkage dialog) but to do that they need to exist in the movie, I just place them off stage that way you load the whole thing as usual.

Another solution is to use a 'main holder' file that loads the 'real' movie onto it thus loading the library aswell. (i.e: the 'mainHolder loads in level 2 the preloader that checks level 1 where the 'real' movie is loaded. Once it's done its thing unloads level2)
