Hey all,

I want to make index.swf which has no content, except a preloader that loads an external swf… I want to do this, so that the preloader loads straight away (i find that when i put one in a normal movie, u have to wait for a portion of the movie to load until the preloader shows).

Can anyone gimme a link to a tutorial or any tips?

Thanks!

Ben
