Problem solved! I bought a ready made external preloader from here: http://activeden.net/item/as3-text-preloader/23640

I've been working on a little flash app for the last couple of months and now the final hurdle is strapping a preloader on to the front of it.

The app is a fla/swf controlled by a Main.as document...

Ah yes it popped up at last. I haven't posted anything here for quite a while so the delay took me by surprise. Sucks that spammers have made post moderation necessary.

Drat, I don't understand as much of that as I hoped I would! :) I'm not sure why the link didn't work. Might have been cropped by the forum... here's a shortened version: http://bit.ly/ciX0fl
