What is the problem you are having? There is a tutorial in this website for all kinds of preloaders.

what do you mean none of them work? If you are testing in Flash you have to press CNTRL+ENTER twice in order to see the streaming preloader. You also have to move the content to the 3rd frame and put the preloader on the 1 and 2nd frame… follow the tutorials. They work, you just aren’t doing them right.

I’m sure you did, but those tutorials work. They wouldn’t be posted if they didn’t. Go step by step and read carefully.

mayb this mite help:

have your preloader sequence at the begining of the movie

at the last frame of the preloader at the action:

gotoAndPlay(1);

then on frame 1 ov the preloader add the followin action

ifFrameLoaded (“Scene #”, ####) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene #”, ##);  
}

this shud help

# = number! lol

The ifFrameLoaded is when u want the preloader to play 2 4 the rest of the movie plays

The gotoAndPlay is the first scene of the actual movie
