cs4 is the first flash I’ve ever used. I’ve made a little looping animating that loops forever. It’s supposed to loop forever and I want it to. The thing is, I need a preloader. I’ve looked and looked but I’m stumped. I tried downloading the free preloaders from newgrounds, but they load, then play, then when done I see the load screen again! What I want, is for it to wait to load, then once started to loop forever without showing the loading screen or play button again.

Really, I don’t care if it shows a blank screen until the movie is loaded, It’s just important that it loops forever afterward.

Please help me :crying:

Thanks so much.
