Lesson_13: Preloader

A Preloader is used to load the SWF and start the telling of the design story. Usually the viewer will see some type of loading bar to indicate the wait time.
Today we will design Preloading graphics and assign Actionscript.
We will also look at the bandwidth profiler.

We will also look at examples of the Final "Jukebox" Project.
