Hi people,

I just finished a flash project, the only thing that is missing is a preloader.

I have a index.swf that has a main.as as document class, this way I have no code on the timeline. I simply want to preload the index.swf. A simple preloader within the main.as will cause problems in IE, so maybe the best way is to load the external index.swf.

How can I do this ?

Thanks in advance.
