Excuse my ignorance but I did a course in Flash years ago (version 3 at the time) and haven't used it since. I made some simple stuff back then and one of the movies is 31kb so I want to use a preloader to load it. I still have the original .fla and want to know if there is an easy way to constuct a preloader sequence for it? Thanks in advance

People who've built their own preloaders might be able to offer some good advice here.
Meanwhile, macromedia has a tutorial involving Flash 5:
flashbax.com, webThang.com, and walkthegeek.com also have some.
good luck with this.

At the beginning of the movie you insert couple of frames (in my case 5), and at the last frame of preloader (5th in my case) you make a loop: goto frame 1, and at frame 1 you insert if frame X loaded go to frame 6. So when the frame X is loaded the movie starts. The syntax is just of the top of my head. Very simple but works.
