I'm a little bit confused about how to preload external jpg's with a flash movie. basically, what i'm trying to do is set up a gallery where when someone clicks a button the image loads up. I've got that working fine but at the moment there is nothing showing on screen until the entire image is loaded. Do i need to put the jpg inside a swf movie then load up the swf movie? or in there some more simple way? i'm making the site in Flash $ as well which may affect things.

any help would be much appreciated

it's ok, i think i've figured out the simple way to do it. just drop a simple movie saying 'Loading' behind the proposed location of the new image. that way, when the image is loaded the 'Loading' sign gets covered up

Good thinking.

You should have. Don't be afraid to toot your own horn.
