Okay, I figured out how to make my own preloader (hand scripted 
) okay…but now my main reason for the preloader is not the gfx on my site, but the actual content of it.
I use php + mysql to generate the “backend” files which are loaded into flash…I’ve tried adding in a variable at the END of the php file, in theory that if that’s loaded, then the entire thing is loaded. However, flash just loads that as part of the other variable. I think this is driven mainly because I have a multi-lined “post” variable.
I currently have my preloader dependent on the “getbytesloaded()” and “getbytestotal()” BUT, that only preloads the flash portion of the site…not the actual content.
Here’s my website: www.eviltangerine.com
and the backend files: http://www.eviltangerine.com/getdata.php
http://www.eviltangerine.com/getquotes.php
http://www.eviltangerine.com/getold.php
my site is mainly a blog atm, hopefully adding in a photogallery that’s easy to update.
Any suggestions or tutes? Thanks!
EDIT: Changed the title because it’s more about preloading any type of data outside of the movie…it’s just that this is dynamic 
EDIT 2: hrm, THOUGHT you could change the thread name…only changed the “subject” line of my post…go figure
