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
