I was oping someone could help me the basics of publishing.I am publishing my
swfs through Dreamweaver.
Here is what i need help with

I have a preloader for my main swf
do i use the preloader as the main file when i publish?
Is my main file within that preloader swf or is it just linked?
(i have an action to tell my swf to load into my "container")
If that is the case I would save all my swf's into preloader files?
do i call my main file "index.swf" so the browser knows to use it first?
do i use the flash html files or can just use my swfs/ do I need both in the
same folder?

thanks so much now
mat

if you are loading your main file into the preloader.swf, then you target the
preloader.swf in the HTML file, and name the HTML file index.html, upload all
files and direct your browser your site, your preloader should appear, then it
will load in your main SWF.
