Ok,
Each one of my buttons loads a seperate movie dynamically. The actual navigation background is a seperate movie. Should I be putting the preloader in the navigation movie to preload the other movies overall or should I be placing the preloader in the first frame, first scene of each individual movie?
Thanks again for your help.
Kelly

As easily put as possible, put a preloader whereever you think your site as a whole needs to be preloaded. For the first time someone enters your site, you probably should have the preloader on the MAIN navagation, first frame/scene, so that your ‘home’ and Navigation are preloaded. Then a preloader on each additional movie, which are linked by the buttons.
