I tried the simple preloader on this website but the only thing that happens is that the flash movie “flashes”! CAn someone show me how to create a simple bar preloader showing the percentage completed!

Can someone help me out! I’m going nuts over not being able to make the preloader work! i have followed the exact instructions found on this site!

can’t somebody just show me what code to use and how! nothing fancy just a small bar saying “loading” and percentage, bytes!

thanks
