I am working on my site [www.southpaw.150m.com. I wish to implement the use of a preloader. I am currently studying the preloader tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/preloader\_as3\_pg1.htm](http://www.southpaw.150m.com)

There is one derivative that I wish to employ. Instead of loading an image, how do I go about loading a SWF file instead?

Please help.
