hi. I'm pretty new to flash design and I'm in the process of creating my first
"flash site." I'm having difficulty with the standard preloader tutorial in the
developer's centre and i was wondering if someone could give me some help or
point me in the direction of another step-by-step lesson/tutorial for creating
preloaders? thanks bB_

Here's another site that has a couple tutorials from beginner to experienced. Hope this helps!
