FLASH: Preloader Help

[John Cocktosten]

I have run into a bit of a problem regarding a preloader.  I have a 200k 

Flash presentation that consists of 10 movie clips.  What I would like to do 

is preload the first 100k, and let the second 100k stream.


In the past, my preloaders have consisted of a two frame loop, the first 

frame checks to see if the _totalframes are loaded, and the second frame 

loops back to the first.  If I don�t want to preload the entire movie, I 

replace _totalframes with a specific number, usually the mid point of my 

movie.


Since I am entirely using movie clips, the main timeline consists of 13 

layers but each contains only one frame. Here-in lies my problem. How can I 

preload half of my presentation and let the rest stream considering the 

architecture of my movie; there's only one frame on the main timeline!


Thanks in advance to anyone who can suggest a possible solution.


JC
