hello.  
ive just joined the forum and did one of your tutorials today. I actually understood most of it 😏 and found it easy to follow. Im a little stuck with the pre loader thou. The pre loader (FLA file) works, but where do I place the pre loader on my flash animation? I hope this isnt a really stupid question but Im quite new to flash and have made a few little animations that take a while to download and need a loader!  
really hope you can help  
thanks
