I’m making a CD presentation. i have:  
1- start.swf ( menu used for navigation )  
2- slide show.swf ( 27mb )  
3- other.swf’s ( 10mb averag size )  
I need a preloader.Are preloaders used both for the web and Cd’s, or do Cd’s require special preloaders . please if anyone could help with this. Right now the heaviest swf takes about 20 seconds to open up. I want to put something in front so that people can realize that it is coming…eventually. many thanks
