I hate asking this but could somebody help me out with some actionscript? How can I get a preloader to function if all my assets are attached to the first frame through the linkage properties?

uncheck "export in first frame" for all your linked clips. put a new frame between your preload frame and your start frame. drag a copy of all those linked clips to the stage. make the preloader skip from the preload to the start frame when the preload is done.

Just make a seperate swf to preload your main one. I typically use a LoadVars object to do the preloading/caching so nothing gets initialized.
Check it:

i hate having to preload a whole new swf into a container preloader, i mean yeah you get to use that container for other movies but then you have to change a variable in flash or in html, so i use the technique first mentioned for most all projects.

There is a tutorial in Macromedia Devnet. It was written by one of the staff from BigSpaceShip... It is pretty useful. Very easy to style!!
