flash (macromedia): Does anyone know of a good resource on creating a movie with a preloader for using loadMovie to load an SWF? I have worked with preloaders in the past, and also with the loadMovie. I need to have a preloader that will retrieve info like bytesloaded/bytes total, which isn't the problem. The SWF will be loaded into an empty movieclip. Once the the file has loaded, I need the movie to begin playing (it's video). Questions I am encountering is if the empty movieclip needs to be on the same frame as the loader, if the loader should be calling the loadMovie - or if the empty movieclip should be calling loadMovie. The loader will start playing the movieclip based on the bytesloaded == bytestotal. So the loadMovie needs to be called before the loader sees 0 bytes == 0 bytes.

Any direction would be appreciated so much!

The loading scheme is pretty much the same , the arrangement it's purely your discretion.
Please check the following , it should give you all the variants

Preloaders
-Simple Preloader with one movie loaded to level
-Simple Preloader with one movie loaded to target
-Multiple Preloader with x movies loaded to levels
-Multiple Preloader with x movies loaded to targets
-Multiple Preloader with x movies (incl. percent and bps)
-Multiple Preloader with x movies (single and multiple percent and bps)
