hello;
I wish to apply a pre-loader with a Flash AScript getURL() command; I have successfully apllied them to Flash AScript loadMovie()'s and such but I am not sure where to begin for the getURL();
any thoughts?
as far as it goes, is the term 'pre-loader', used to describe a load status using a status bar or whatever, correct terminology?
thanks

There are a couple of ways of doing it but the one thing that you will need to know in order to create an HTML/PHP preloader is how many images/files you have in the page you want to load up.
You also don't need Flash to create an HTML preloader, you just need a some JavaScript skills and a bit of CSS knowledge.
To be honest having a preloader on an HTML page is not really a sound thing to do unless you intend to have a shed load of images on the page.. or a shed load of pre-loaded images.
But, if you really need a preloader on your HTML page drop me an email at si@urbanchaos.net and I'll walk you through it.
If you want a Flash preloader for an HTML page then it gets a bit more complex but again isn't impossible to do. You will need to know how to get JavaScript and ActionScript 'talking' to each other with FSCommands.

That's Right Gen-ik, but then isn't it same like what you said :

also you can use simple layer with 100% width & height, and hide it using javascript in Body onLoad event.
frankly, if you are using dreamweaver (which I guess you do), then you can download an extension which creates HTML preloader...To be honest having a preloader on an HTML page is not really a sound thing to do unless you intend to have a shed load of images on the page.. or a shed load of pre-loaded images.
