This tutorial is a step by step guide on creating a reusable preloader for external .swf and .jpg files, using the new MovieClipLoader(); class introduced in Macromedia Flash MX 04. Since this tutorial uses the MovieClipLoader(); class, preloader will only work in flash player 7.
The movie below is an example of what we will be making. High broadband users may not get a chance to see the preloader in action, but dial up users will be able to see the full effect.
