I am _Very!_ much a n00b at Flash etc. I have added the Preloader [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_component.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_component.htm) Can anyone help me…

At the end of the main file’s Timeline “flash.swf” another one loads “tour.swf” But I would like help with connecting the Main Preloader to load up whats on the seperate file aswell so that its loaded up at the start and not in two sections. I am guessing this is pretty basic. So if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
