Preloaders at Royaly-Free Purchasing Sites

Question

I have created a website using Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3.0.  I recently realized that I will need to have a preloader included.  I searched the internet and found a variety of Flash components sites that will sell you very nice preloaders.  There is something that I do not understand however.  There was one very nice preloader that used triangles spinning in a circle.  It fits my website theme perfectly.  However the documentation states that the preloader opens with Flash CS3 and I have used CS4 in mine.  It also says that it uses Actionscript version 2.0 whereas I have created my site using 3.0.  Does this mean that I'm stuck in the water?  Can I make this work?  Thanks!

One thing you should note when programming in AS3 is that you can't mix AS2 and AS3 in the same code.

Therfore im pretty sure that the code is not going to work. But, converting an AS2 code to AS3 shouldnt be a problem.

Im positive that you will be able to convert it. Maybe you should have a look at a tutorial on how to make a simple preloader

and look at the code, after you understand how cosume preloaders work in flash you will have the tools you need to convert it.
