ok its taken me 4 days to find a good tuorial on how to build a simple preloader , and i finally found it : http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm
however i cannot understand how im supposed to load my movie with it , it didnt give instructions on loading an external swf …
does anyone know of a way to have it load an external movie , or how i can "merge " the 2 files (preloader and page movie ) together so it preloads the page ?
