Preloaders How do I create one?

I have read all the preloaders tutorial out on the web and it seens that they
don't work with my site, I am missing something and I just can figure out, can
some one give me a hand please???
Let me explain:
1. I have an intro to my site where there is a "enter" button, I have this in
a Scene called intro.
2. the main site is in another scene called "main", it is 62 frames long, but
on frame 62 there is a frame with the "content" of the links of the "main"
site, and it has pictures, videos, music, etc

I want to build a preloader bar, so when people click on "enter" the preloader
bar shows up until the whole site have been downloaded.

AS I have it now, when you click "enter" it downloads the site but because it
is heavy it has like a 30 sec where you see part of the site and you have to
wait until it downloads all the content of frame 62.

Please how can I build? this preloader bar so the main site shows as a whole
instead by parts. Like I said before, I have read a done all tutoriasl
available sin the web but none of them works

Help me. thank you, doggy

Or even better try performing a search for Flash and preloader; thousands of
examples out there. Check also below google link on past posts on the same
topic.

John,
Maybe you missed doggy's assertion that he had read "...all the preloaders tutorial(sic) out on the web...".

OOPS, indeed missed that one. Sorry. In that case: let me rephrase also:
tell us what you have done so far and/or put up fla for download.
