Hey guys, I followed terkoiz's tut on how to make a preloader, and it didn't work for me. So I was wondering, is there a file that you guys could give me of a preloader so I can see how it works? Thanks for your help.

Edit: Anyone? Please? Help?

Go to first frame of your animation. Press actions. Copy Paste this in. [Also please tell me how to put music into my flash videos?]
