I mean: when the preloader is finished, I see something like “the preloader is finished… again?” What do I have to do the tell the preloader that it should load the file, instead of telling me “the preloader is finished… again?”?

I got the preloader from www.flashfreaks.nl (dutch site)

I think you should try using the preloader on this forum, it’s more straight forward and there’s a tutorial for it. Here is the link.
