I really need help here guys…

I am building a site and i need to have one main preloader that is utilised when i load .swf into the main .swf.

I have found this tutorial which works well -

… the only problem is that i need a preloader bar to illustrate the .swf loading!

Can anyone help! (I am desperate)
