Loading Bar or Still image while movie loads

[muggzy]

is it possible to have a still image while my flash movie loads? how do you input a loading bar? and can i have a different type of load bar than the standard one, ive seen some pretty cool ones.
thanks!

I've never done it before but your best place to find a tutorial on this is www.flashkit.com

I have seen alot of stuff on 'preloaders' as they are known. Very easy to do with just a little time and actionscript.
