Hi all,

Hope someone can help.

I created a website with a component. I am not that great with code.

• I have a swf which I placed in an html page.  
• There’s a lot of images.  
• They load from an xml file.  
• I need a preloader to display while the images load.

Since I am using a “COMPONENT” I have no idea how to create a preloader or progress bar to display while the images load. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
