I honestly don't understand why anyone would want a preloader, in this day and age.
The whole point of them was to keep eyeballs on the screen in the early Flash days when broadband internet connections were a luxury for most, but websites' total file weights had a started getting much higher.
We've all got broadband internet now so even the heaviest of websites load super-fast, and Flash will be taking on an exalted place next to a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton in a natural history museum ... yet with that — as well as things like streaming, CDNs, low-overhead CSS and JS — you still want a preloader? Why?

- Because the client saw that you'd managed the loading of large resources tastefully, but wanted everything to start andmikotondria3
- load all at once to 'wow' people, and the only way is to preload it.
