I am very new to flash altogether. I was able to find small tutorials on the web and I managed to create a nice animated logo for my company. However, they have this whole big flash website that they want to do and I am now trying to learn flash so I can do it.

I am trying to create a preloader. I have found tutorials on the web, but none really for CS4 (I don’t care if it’s AS2 or AS3 cause I don’t have experience with any of it)…but, I can’t find any tutorials other than [Lynda.com](http://Lynda.com) to be able to create one.

The one on [Lynda.com](http://Lynda.com) doesn’t really help me because I don’t know how to load an .swf for the preloader.

Can someone please help me find a tutorial for beginners for a simple or even not simple preloader, including how to add the .swf file that’s needed?

Thank you.
