Hey

This may seem like the most stupid thing ever but I want a preloader on my web page for the text that is loading up and I’ve gone through the kirupa tutorials and done exactly what it has said, but then when i upload the file all that comes up is  
Downloading File from [http://www.onemiddlefinger.com](http://www.onemiddlefinger.com)  
on my loading bar at the bottom of my internet explorer, then the flash loads up, and its just really annoying me because i follow the tutorial yet i still cant get it to work.  
Please someone help its probs real simple, its just me being a beginner  
I have attached the file so anyone who knows how to do it can just do it!! and then send it back to me, so i dont mess it up even more!!  
Thanks very much in advance!!  
Ben

on a broadband connection there is no need for a preloader, it just came up instantly
