1-Make your short movie at will load fast make it aleast two frames long.

2-put it ant the begining of the movie you need the preloader for.

3-select keyframe 1 in the preloader frame. (make sure that the flash you need the preloader for is after the preloader)

4-in the preloader frame, from the add statement menu, choose Basic Actions>If Frame Is Loaded. Flash updates the action list with the following code:

ifFrameLoaded(){
}

5-in the Parameters pane. set the following parameters:
* in the Scene field, enter
<current scene>.
*form the Type menu, choose Frame Number.

EXP. if the movie is 100 frames long, you'd type 100
