Hey Guys…Heres my problem:

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the “loading” frames as it is loading the “content” frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one…

Any advice/help you can give is awesome. Thanks

p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
