Hello!

I’ve made a coloring book in flash for a client of mine (with a lot of help from Kirupa tutorials). You can find it at [http://www.southstarweb.com/mladen/Bojanka.swf](http://www.southstarweb.com/mladen/Bojanka.swf)  
Now they want me to make a preloader for it. I’ve tried many different techniques, including the one described on Kirupa tutorials, but none of them works. I have even tried making a swf with the same dimensions as my coloring book that would work like a preloader for it, display the progress of the loading process, and then display the coloring book. It can be found at [http://www.southstarweb.com/mladen/BojankaEXT.swf](http://www.southstarweb.com/mladen/BojankaEXT.swf)  
The problem is that, each of the methods disrupts the functionality of the coloring book in some way. For instance, the last preloader shows the preloading process, and then shows only the brush, not the entire coloring book, but when you refresh it it works fine.  
Does anybody have any idea about what I should do?

Please help:(
