Maybe a daft question, but something I’m struggling with nonetheless.

I’ve created a preloader according to the tutorial on the main site. I know it works as I uploaded it to my server and had someone else test it on a dial up connection. BUT

How on earth do I test the preloader from within Flash?.. as it loads the whole movie virtually instantly I never actually get to see the preloader in order to modify it / tweak it…

How do I slow it down / tweak it so I can see it before finally publishing it…

Thanks

Nick
