preloader for flash site

Question

Hi-I  don't know much about Flash so understanding how to implement a  preloader for my entire site is just a bit beyond me. Basically, I just  want a loading bar, "loading" text, and the percentage text (this should  all be in AS3). I know that in Flash CS5, a preloader bar is included  as one of the components. The only problem is that I don't know what to  do with it (and it shows up as blue and white so not sure how to change  the colour)... the Adobe help file for that component explains somewhat but the example it uses includes an MP3 and button component, both of which I don't need.Can  someone explain how to include this feature and show me the exact code  and where I should put it in the actions frame? Thanks so much!*Pooja*

HiMy advice to you are: Take the time to read a little about flash...Just start small.Read the help file (F1). Do some basic groundwork and learnabout the language..There's nothing more gratifying, thanbeing able to produce something all by yourself.Don't take this the negative way. A lot of newbies get flashwith the expectation, that you sit down in front of the 'beast'and just 'make it'...When they wake up and discover, thatthe darn thing needs som studying...Well.....If you REALLY want to know about preloaders, then searchfor 'preloaders' in the searchbox..There are countless examplesavailable.Start small and slowly build up your knowledge..The benefits are fantastic..Trust me.When you have a specific problem...Some lines of code that'sacting up, then ask for help and you will get it...
