[VictorVonVice]

the 2007 preloader seems swell and all but when I add another scene or frame after the preloader, it doesnt seem to work. can someone explain?

When I try this it says there's an AS error in the output window:

**Error** Symbol=pre_73, layer=play, frame=4:Line 2: Scene name must be quoted string
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I'm using Flash 8 Pro.

That's because it's supposed to be
on(press) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2",1)
}

Talking about the preloader, are we allowed to edit it at al, even a little colour-change? i'm not sure if we can,but it doesn't say you can't. it just says that it has to be in there, but doesn't mention editing... can someone clear this up for me please?

I THINK it's ok - I asked Tom something similar, about mildly obstructing the preloader, and he seemed ok with it so long as the message still gets across. Obviously, if you change the text to read "Pico's STUPID DAY!!!111" then you're probably out of the contest :D
