I have downloaded an flv to swf convertor called “SWF & FLV Toolbox 3.5” by Eltima. It functions and does everything i want to do EXCEPT provide a preloader as the movie downloads. Is there anyway i can add a preloader to the output swf file without too much hassle??

As an alternative i am open to anyone with ideas on how i can best convert flv files to swf while providing a control panel similar to youtube? I would just uplaod there and use the embed code except the youtube overlay is too unprofessional for my application.

thanks.
