Preloader without loading bar

Question

I'm pretty new to this. I've created a flash movie as the
header in a html/css web page. After searching extensively, I'm in
need of the action script code that will allow me to create a
pre-loader that loads just a static jpeg as the rest of the swf
loads. None of the tutorials seem to address what I am looking for.
In short, I do not need "a loading bar, a percentage preloader and
a text field that shows how many bytes of your SWF movie have been
loaded so far and the total file size" just a static jpeg that
shows until the swf loads.
Nothing I've tried seems to work when I test it.
Currently I have:
this.onEnterFrame =function(){
var total:Number =this.getBytesTotal();
var loaded:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
var percent:Number = Math.round(Number(loaded/total)*100);
myString.text = percent.toString()+ "%";
if(loaded >= total)
this.onEnterFrame = null;
delete(this.onEnterFrame);
this.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", 1);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Answer 1

the best tutorial for preloaders is here:
www.gotoandlearn.com
It includes a percentage and preloader bar. Since you don't
want the preloader bar, just make it without that part of the
instructions. The tutorial video will help you understand the basic
functionality behind it all which will allow to customize.
so ya, just choose the preloader tutorial, theres an advanced
preloader tutorial also, but I haven't looked at that one. You can
also download the source files from the site, but I still recommend
going through it step by step as he explains a lot of stuff.
