go to control test movie, then w=you will see a list on the left like this,

Dim: dementions in pixels
Fr Rate: the the frame rate how many frames per second,
Size is in KB
Duration in frames & seconds,
Preload how much its preloading before it can stream,
then band width,
& of corse your movies current state,


the preloader really does not help your movie is some casees can make it bigger its just a tool for the use4r to see how long they will have to sit in fron the of the screen before it loads, , and or how much is loaded, you can do some really easy preloaders, with just a text display,


this is about the most simple preloader ever

percent = (100/_totalframes)*_framesloaded ;
// to display the percent symbol
currentload =percent+"%";

place this code on the first frame of your movie, then create a new layer, with the dynamic text box, called currentload to display the text, make the amount of frames for the text box, span 2 frames, in the layer you added the code, the frame right next to it select it & press, F6 to create a new key frame,
then in that add,

if (percent == 100) {
    gotoAndPlay (3);
} else {
    gotoAndPlay (1);
}

its then reading to see if the total percent is = to 100 if so then go to the 3rd, frame to start the movie, if not, go back to the first & see how much has been loaded, it will do that untill percent is = 100 then it will go to frame 3 wala
hope this helps.

I did tell you it was the first thing I talked about, go into your control, menu & click test movie & you will get a list of all your movies properties...
