The preloader should be inside the loaded movie. Find a great tutorial [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm). When you’ve done that, you could simply put a loading text in the first two frames, so it will display it when loading, but it will be gone when loaded.

When you say offline, I’m assuming you mean stuff on your comp.

To test your preloader on your comp, you would press Ctrl Enter and then Enter again in flash to use the bandwidth simulater.

hmm…if you’re creating a CD, then why do you need a preloader? I’ve created CD presentations with video embeded in it and I never used a preloader.
