To add a preloader, you'll need to use Flash. Or, there may be other software out there that can do that kind of thing, but Moho can't do it for you.

There's a product called "SWF Lock & Load" that makes and attaches preloaders for you; it costs $20. http://www.verticalmoon.com/products/sw ... ckload.htm

a free alternative

This thread seems to be really old but the problem is still there for me. Is there are free alternative to Ceruleans Lock & Head? Even this software needs some version of Flash.

Thanks for help.

Get flash and use the newgrounds.com Pre loader. Its free and it works.

"Get Flash," however, is not free.

Yes, that really is the point. :( I have some older version of flash as of version 3 here. But i think that didn't fit the needs. :( That might be a really needfull improvement to Moho, to optionally activate an preloader, maybe an action that will be played during that time. :)

Doesn't have to be exactly Macromedia Flash. Could be another flash software which does the same flashy type stuff at a cheaper price. There's loads out there, i guess if you search engine it, you should get loads. Not everything in life is free... that's why i'm living off beans and pasta!
