Re: FLASH: Preloader Help

[Gregg Caines]

Well you want to be able to turn the alpha down to 0% so they are

undetectable.  You can't do this with non-symbols...  You could scale

them to almost 0px X 0px or hide them behind something else (as was

already suggested).  As long as you can keep those PNGs from

being visible somehow,  your preloader will look and work fine...Flash

will not make you reload the PNGs everytime they are used...
