First off, thanks a million for providing those free preloaders, and saving all the “Action-Script impaired” people (like me) a whole lot of headaches.

Personally, I prefer the “work-of-art” type preloaders. I can construct a simple progress bar by now (thanks to the many wonderful tutorials out there), but the circle preloaders are still giving me trouble. Spent the last 3 weeks, trying to create one that looks like a car's speedometer or RPM gauge, with the movement of the needle indicating the loading progress. But since the starting and end point of the needle's movement have to be at a specific angle for it to match the markings on the gauge…. well, let's just say I have a lot more gray hair than I did when I started this project.
