i already used that tutorial to make the preloader for the main movie. i also created a little opening/closing dor scene in the main movie so you click a button, the doors close, the external movie loads, and when its finished loading, i want the doors to open again. using this preloader tutorial, i would have to put the doors scene in each external movie, wouldnt i? maybe i could have the external swfs pass a variable to the root movie when its done loading, any suggestions?

Take the same preloader but instead of saying _root.getBytesLoaded etc, just say _level1.getBytesLoaded etc.. That'll preload your external swfs.
