Can someone tell me how to do a preloader for FLASH 5. I've looked at others, but they don't make much sense. Please tell how to do it or give me a website that is very detailed and goes step-by-step and is made for morons like me. :) thanks
 
Hi,
It is pretty simple actually, even for non-techies like us!

Firstly: Name the scenes of your movie. Call the last one you want to be preloaded "end". Create a scene at the beggining of your movie. Make a preloader movie(make it relatively simple). In the first keyframe of the preloader movie add the action:

ifFrameLoaded ("end", 1) {
gotoAndPlay ("start_movie");
}

In the last keyframe of the preloader movie add the action:

gotoAndPlay (1);

Then add a label,"start_movie" on the first keyframe of the first part of your movie.

This should work.
