what is the most simple way to build a short and sweet preloader?..

some of the tutorials i’ve found don’t really make a whole lot of since… and when you read nineteen different versions of one subject matter and nineteen different ways to do it are presented… the ease gets trampled…

anyone?..

perhaps a link to another tutorial?..

a cookie?..

a small fry with a large coke?..

a bone?..

okay… i’ll stop.
