I have a main movie, which loads another .swf into a movieclip. The .swf that needs to be loaded is 27kb big. Is that big enough to make a preloader for it? It’s kind of a small clip, and I’m afraid that when I make a preloader for it, it won’t even show when you load it, or a full rectangle will just be visible for a second or something…or just something weird.

So, should I make a preloader for it or isn’t it necessary for such a small file?
