Can someone tell me how to make a preloader that actually works. Every
preloader I've tried the loading bar doesn't show up until right before the swf
shows up. I just want something that will show the loading progress right off
the bat. Pleeeeeeaaaase help me.

Sometimes you need to get the preloader completely out of the main
file because library junk like components has to load before anything
else, including frame 1 preloaders. This example uses a preloader on
level 0 that loads the main file into level 1.

there is a program called swf, lock and load which creates flash
preloaders. http://www.verticalmoon.com/products/swflockload
