Hi guys, i m doing a website base on the tutorial from Kirupa tutorial here [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm) .The website button function and External swf transition scripting is base on that tutorial. it would be great if i could let peoples to see the preloading process while my web loading the external swf file… can any one here tell me how to add a preloader to show loading progress every time the external swf files loading? Thanks
