I have a main question, if anyone can help me with this, it'd be greatly
appreciated.

I know you guys have probably heard this before, if not, please help me, it
means a whole bunch.

Loading external .swf files in a main .swf file, and when loading them, run
through a basic preloader...thats pretty much it.

Thank you so very much.

not only heard it but answered it too may times. Search this group for
preloader and you will find everything you need.
