If I want to add a 6 frame Movie as

[natedeia]

If I want to add a 6 frame Movie as a preloader to each time I do a loadMovie, how do I do it just to show the little Movie first then the Movie that I wanted to load???

on (release) {
loadMovieNum ("mcgallery.swf", 4);
}
on (release) {
unloadMovieNum (1);
unloadMovieNum (2);
unloadMovieNum (3);
unloadMovieNum (5);



}

Is this an actual preloader, or just a "transition"?
Will you want to show it even if the movies are already cached?
Why are you not loading the movies on the same level each time, avoiding the need to unload the others?

well this little preloader thing is like a fuzzy tv for about 3 seconds then tunes into the page.
How do u think the best way to load this Movie each time a page opens??

I don't know why i am not loading the movie on the same level. Guess I had some of problems once when I was doing it. Any example fla's?? This is not too bad though? right?
It was the best way I thought when loading these different Movies swf's into this one window.

You didn't really say if this thingy was an actual preloader and does it serve that purpose at all?
Is it a movie clip in the main movie, or is it itself an external movie?

As for loading on different levels, unless you do, in some cases, want to have several different movies displayed all at once, there's no real need to use several levels (although there's nothing wrong with it), since when you keep loading your movies on the same level, then new movie automatically replaces the previous one, without the need to unload it. Only simplifies the whole process,
