I don't understand how to preload the jpg's and swf's and use the getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() methods. Could you give me a little more insight

when I use loadClip nothing loads but if I do tis everything appears on the stage but doesn't trigger the onEnterFrame

namesArray = new Array("bg", "widget1", "widget2", "widget3", "MainLogo", "MainMessage");
locationsArray = new Array([0, 0], [-500, 250], [275, 225], [445, 250], [530, 105], [410, 23]);
for (i=0; i<namesArray.length; i++) {
container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(namesArray +"_mc", i);
container_mc[namesArray+"_mc"]._x = locationsArray [0];
container_mc[namesArray+"_mc"]._y = locationsArray [1];
if (i == 0) {
container_mc[namesArray+"_mc"].loadMovie("images/"+namesArray +".jpg");
} else {
container_mc[namesArray+"_mc"].loadMovie("images/"+namesArray +".swf");
}
}

nothing. I changed the array names back since these are the names of the files I am trying to load into the movieclips
also I added the movieclips name back to everywhere you deleted it since this is the location of thei images and movies

here is what I did

namesArray = new Array("bg", "widget1", "widget2", "widget3", "MainLogo", "MainMessage");
locationsArray = new Array([0, 0], [-500, 250], [275, 225], [445, 250], [530, 105], [410, 23]);
for (var i = 0; i<namesArray.length; i++) {
//create a clip on the root using a reference
var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(namesArray +"_mc", i);
container[namesArray+"_mc"]._x = locationsArray [0];
container[namesArray+"_mc"]._y = locationsArray [1];
if (i == 0) {
loader.loadClip("images/"+namesArray+".jpg", container.namesArray +"_mc");
} else {
loader.loadClip("images/"+namesArray+".swf", container.namesArray +"_mc");
}
}

Well, in the meantime I quickly edited your original code. You have to wait for the image or swf to load before you can invoke a function that performs the easing. I'm using the MovieClipLoader Class here. Now, replace the names in the names_array (I used some of my own images obviously). And I did not use a container_mc but created the container on the root.
In the code I'm passing the container to the function doEase() so all images are now eased to the same spot (just as an example, you can change that). And, the onEnterFrame keeps running - you just need to use this.onEnterFrame there (when you create the container on the root. -> edit

Edit: this.onEnterFrame kills the onEnterFrame on the target clip that is passed to the function doEase()

Wait for the image to load......... then trigger the onEnterFrame. You code gets executed right away so the loadMovie kills the onEnterFrame.
