Preloader simple question

Hi flash experts
i´m gonna make a simple question (no laughs pleas!)
If i have my main movie (for instance i made my entire site in flash) where should i put the preloader movie , in onother scene or a few frames before the main movie?
i will appreciate a hand on this.
thanks.

Um, I usually put mine on a frame of its own, before the rest of the movie. If you want fancy animations, i’d suggest creating a movieclip or keeping it in its own Scene.

I found this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm helped with everything to do with preloaders. I put mine in the first two frames and started everything else in frame three.
