Hello,
I'm interested in figuring out how to create a preloader that will preload
25% of my main .swf file before starting.
Is their a way to do this? I need some advise on how to set up the special
classes to get this done. Action script help would be awesome. Thanks

When you mention classes I think you are using CS3 which I don't know a lot
about but if you can get any preloader working and you must be able to get one
from the internet, here is one :-

you will be using _root.getBytesTotal(); and _root.getBytesLoaded() all you
need to do is put "/4" on the end of total that way it will play as you said

Thanks, I'm actually using CS2. I'm wondering if I can get this done with the
loader and loader bar components that flash 8 comes with? Could you give me
an example of how the code would look with the /4 placed into the correct spot?
Thanks!
