all you do is open > then click the FIRST thing (the image of the tank) ctrl copy

place in the FIRST frame of your movie/game

Just download the preloader, open it, right click on the keyframe it's on, then press copy. Go onto your movie and paste the keyframe into the first keyframe of your flash. If you already have things in you first keyframe, move your entire movie along one space.

it's really simple. basically (you can figure out the code on your own, but it's REALLY simple), have two frames. Then in the second one, have script that takes you back to the first frame if the movie's not loaded yet or that starts to play the movie when it's loaded (or takes you to a menu of some sort. it's up to you). I don't have flash and don't remember my code, but you can do it man.

Whoops.... sorry the link is incorrect, you can download a Christmas Preloader from the 2006 Christmas collection page.

It's easy to make your own preloader. Simply make a movie clip with 100 frames, and tween a loading bar or something in it. Then give the MC this AS:

onClipEvent(load){
_root.stop();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
this.gotoAndPlay(int(100*(loaded/total)));
}

On the last frame on the movie clip, make your play button. Give it this AS:

on(release){
_root.play();
}

Oh, and on the frame that your preloader movie clip is on, make sure it is stop(); 'ed. ok?
