I recently created a site which is up and running. The site works fine and is not to big. It loads external txt files using the following actionscript:

**loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“anton.txt”);  
// creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
anton.text = this.Antontext;  
};**  
Ive noticed a delay in loading the txt files. I would like to add a preloader on the site for each one of these txt files with a small loading animation for them nothing to fancy. Im fairly new to actionscripting and Im using Flash MX 6 any help would be appreciated  
By the way the site address is:
