Out of the three options choose 'Only', then check the box that says 'Numerals (0-9)'. In the box at the bottom labelled 'And these characters:' input a value of '%'. Hit 'Done'. " in step 9.

I always appreciate tutorials which explains the code.  I like to know what's going on.  One question though, why is it that the variable dynamic text never writes 100%?  It ends at 98% then goes to the next frame even when something like 
  if (per >99) {
		perc = "100%";} is written into the actions panel.<br/><br/>

Just wondering if it's better to have a preloader within the main flash file or to have it load up in a seperate file.  Once the main flash file is loaded, have the preloader file display the main flash file.  What's the best way to do this?<br/><br/>

The error is quite simple, you're trying to trigger a movie-clip only event for a non-movie clip thing, in other words you probably clicked the frame1 in the PreLoader layer and went to actions, which in my case in adobe flash cs4 THATS WRONG, because that would be actions taken for a frame and not the PreLoader movie clip itself, understand?

SOLUTION: Click the PreLoader movie clip symbol that u created on step 6 (property window should now have a field saying "instance of: PreLoader" in flash cs4).
Press f9 or go to Window -> Actions with the movie clip still selected, now you will see that in the middle-left it says "Current Selection: PreLoader"... paste the code in there, verify that its correct and voila. At least it worked for me, hope it helps for you or someone that reads this<br/><br/>

You have to right click on the PreLoader movie clip on the STAGE, not on the timeline and put the action script there. Then it'll work fine. Same thing happened to me.<br/><br/>

You can just replace image layer in this tutorial with movie clip with certain number of frames you want to preload, and actually you don't need action layer in this tutorial with two consecutive frames contains stop(); commands. Also, change action script at Preload layer gotoAndStop(2); to gotoAndPlay(2); instead for the movie to get playing after preload is completed.
