Can anyone tell me how to preload a preloader? I know it sounds weird but I have a graphic that is 3d and about 7kb. I need to load up this graphic then load up the interface for my project. Do I make any sense?

Please help! I’ve been reading all the books I can get my hands on and can’t seem to find a preloader that will allow for graphics to be a part of it.

Thanks!;(

If you have to preload your preloader than you might want to rethink your concept and look into the point of a preloader :-\

I know that sounds harsh, and your idea is probably good, but you should never have to preload your preloader, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of a preloader.
