preloader help

[gkbdave]

I am trying to do figure out how to preload my site.. I am not really sure how to go about it. I have to .swf files. The first is intro page that when finished automatically loads the next(main) movie. The main movie is pretty large(630kb)and will only get bigger as I add more to it..
My question is do I preload the main movie and let the intro movie just loop until its done?? Or can I preload part of the main movie?
Here is the link if anyone can check it out, would be very much appreciated.

There are many great tutorials on preloaders on this site that you should check out. Both methods you described are possible. Basically, the commands behind preloaders are two functions, "getBytesLoaded ()" and "getBytesTotal ()" these return an integer for the loaded and total bytes, respectively. Check out the tutorials and you should be able to figure something out .
