dunno what you mean

but preloaders are simple

eg.

  1. in 1st frame make 100x10px rectangle
  2. register it as a symbol with RP on the left side
  3. give it an actions:
    [AS] onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
    _xscale = 100*(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())
    _xscale >=1 ? _root.play() : _root.gotoAndPlay(1);
    }
    [/AS]

should work…
peace
