I’m working on a project that requires a swf file to have a built in preloader. In the past, puting a preloader in caused problems, because the preloader, wouldn’t load until about 90% of the swf had allready loaded. Is there a way to tell flash to load a particular frame first? Or perhaps stream itself?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
