Hi Everyone, i have made a flash gallery using actionscript..how to add a loader to it?

Question

hi i am loading all thumbs and images in a container on a single frame using action script..but the size of the swf becomes 1.2 mb so i want to add a loader to it...the loader i am trying to add counts the frames but my file has just one frame so the loader doesnot show up..
here is the script of my gallery..and the timeline has just one frame...
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);
var imagesNumber:Number = 18;
var scrolling:Boolean = true;
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
container.attachMovie("thumb"+i,"thumb"+i+"_mc",i);
myThumb_mc = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
if (i==1)
    myThumb_mc._x = (0.0)*myThumb_mc._width;
else
    myThumb_mc._x = ((1.2*i)-1.2)*myThumb_mc._width;
myThumb_mc._y = (Stage.height-myThumb_mc._height)/2;
myThumb_mc._alpha = 100;
myThumb_mc.largerImage = i;
myThumb_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 60;
myThumb_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
myThumb_mc.onRelease = function() {
this._alpha=100;
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
var myClip = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
myClip.enabled = false;
scrolling = false;
_root.attachMovie("image"+this.largerImage,"large_mc",2);
large_mc._x = (Stage.width-large_mc._width)/2;
large_mc._y = (Stage.height-large_mc._height)/2;
new Tween(large_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 0.5, true);
new Tween(container,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,50,0.5,true);
large_mc.onRelease = function() {
scrolling = true;
var myFadeOut = new Tween(large_mc, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 0.5, true);
new Tween(container,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,50,100,0.5,true);
myFadeOut.onMotionFinished = function() {
for (i=1; i<=imagesNumber; i++) {
var myClip = container["thumb"+i+"_mc"];
myClip.enabled = true;
large_mc.removeMovieClip();
container.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (scrolling){
this._x += Math.cos((-_root._xmouse/Stage.width)*Math.PI)*20;
if (this._x>0) {
this._x = 0;
if (-this._x>(this._width-Stage.width)) {
this._x = -(this._width-Stage.width);
anyone knows how to add a loadre to this...?
thanks..

You'll need to repost in the AS2 forum.  That's all AS2 code and this is the AS3 forum.
