If you want to make YOUR OWN preloader and don't like tutorials or already made up add-on preloaders, just use simple actionscript to make one. Stop the movie or order it to go in a continuous cycle of frames. Then, on one of the frames in the cycle or in the frame that stops, type this in the actions box (after "stop, or "goto" - after all the actionscript that is already there in the frame): "ifframeisloaded", and right after the line, before the statement ends, make it do something like play or go to another frame and play or stop. Make sure that the location does not lead back to repeat the cycle. Set the value of "ifframeloaded" to the last frame of your movie, or the frame you want the user to wait to be loaded. This is pretty simple stuff compared to other actionscript in FLASH.
