A nice way to preload without having the files playing is to use LoadVars.
var lvLoader:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.load(file.swf);
// or any other file you want to preload
it will load practically any file type and the data will be in the cache, so
no need to use MovieClipLoader or

The use of LoadVars to pre-load data is really interesting (and undocumented
feature), more if you take into account that it was not designed to be used
that way (or was it?).

A nice way
Here's a good solution that is used by many installer applications out
there.
Take the number of items you are loading and divide your progress bar
into that many sections. Then, show the progress of each of those
sections.
Let's say you were loading 10 files. That means you're breaking up

Wouldn't you just loop through an array of moviecliploaders and check if

Well, presuming you're speaking of on-line delivery, you're kind of at the

If you need to preload 12 files, you can do it sequentially with only
one progress bar.
Each loading progress needs to update 1/12 portion of the progress bar
with a formula like this:
currentPercent = currentMovie.getBytesLoaded() /
currentMovie.getBytesTotal();
totalPercent = (loadedFiles
Been playing with this myself for a while, this isn't tested much but I
think its what you want. If you need a bit more help call.
