Hi , i have a website in flash and im thinking to add a preloader to it anyway the swf it 220Kb a bit heavy and it loads an image and set it as the background using a movieclip loader.

Im completly new to preloaders here so im not sure exactly what i should be doing what id like to do is have the preloader right up until the background MCL is finished loading the background because that event also loades the controls etc

anyway i need some advice  
Thanks
