I am really new to flash, and probably doing things very wrong, but it works. A friend of mine suckered me into building his website using flash, doh!

Okay, my problem. I want to just do the website in flash to make the layout easier. I am  
trying to load a gallery I made (using the tutorial from this website) and it shows up just fine, I got things where I want them to in testing. However, my problem is the preloader  
bar does not show up, and the text description/counter also does not show up.

So, what would be best for anyone to help troubleshoot this, or is there some tutorials I should read first to try and figure this out? Thanks, so far this has been the most helpful website that I’ve found for flash related knowledge 🙂
