I know a lot of would have heard this before but I can't figure why it doesn't actually "pre" load the website. I've used many different tutorials but when i simulate the download in flash cs4 it waits till the whole site is downloaded then views it :evil:

Thank you in advance for your help

A loader bar doesn't actually "pre" load a site. It just gives you something to watch while the site is loading.

True preloading would require you to start loading components that might be needed down the road while a user is interacting with something else. But thats totally up to you as the developer when and what to load in advance.
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!
