    Default Flash preloader MC question

    Hi,

    Wondering about the best way to get a pre loader to work. I have a
    flash menu (gfx intensive) that comes up (that needs a pre loader) and
    each item on the menu has a long MC that will individually need pre
    loading bar (unless already loaded).

    My worry is that if I do a normal pre loader for the menu (look at size
    of file) then it will take ages, as it will pre load the menu and all
    the MCs. How do I split up the pre loaders? One for the main flash data
    (just enough to show the menu) and pre loaders for each of the MCs
    contained within?

    Thanks!
