AS3 Preloader which loads itself, not an external swf

How can I create a preloader which does this? I have seen many examples of code to load an external swf, but never something that loads itsel开发者_JAVA百科f.

Thanks for the help, this is driving me crazy...

It's really simple. First you need to move everything except the preloader off the first frame.

Everything else is basically the same as an external preloader - the only difference is that you're checking the current and total size of the current movie, rather than a separate one.

alternatively ... You can try FlashDevelop's Preloader template, makes it really easy
