I have a client that wants to add a sexy preloader to their flash site.
Anyone know of and good ones?

Just build one?
Or are you after a two advanced preloader for a preloader?

usually a preloader is code that just sits alongside a 100-frame-long animation (i.e each 1 frame represents 1% loaded).
just look for a preloader on flashkit.com or somewhere then change the animation to something that the client wants - or something related to the shape/colour of their logo.
do something unique for them.

Sorry, I wasn't looking for code. I was looking for inspiration. I am leading toward doing something simple but I need something more interesting then just a load bar.
Any ideas?

How about a guy pushing a big rock up a hill? And when he gets to the top, the rock rolls back down over him, and he screams? And then the movie starts...
Or how about one where a raven takes bites from a cadaver, and when he's finished, the movie starts?
Or how about one where a guy is flying on a pair of artificial wings, close to the sun? And the wings are gradually melting, and you can see each drip coming off, and when the wings are fully melted he crashes into the sea?
Or a guy is tied down to a table, and this big blade is swinging back and forth over him, and getting gradually closer? And when the blood starts to spurt the movie starts?
Or how about when where some guys in a boat are whaling, and after they spear the whale, it jumps up and bites the one guys leg off? And then the movie starts?
Or there's a balloon circling a map of the world, and a calander showing 80 days, and as the balloon moves, the days get checked off?
O there's three guys, and a bunch of soldiers. And the three guys get crucified, and start screaming in anguish. And then they die, and get put in a cave behind a rock? And then some women come along, and there's a flash of light, and the rock moves, and one of the guys rises to heaven?
OK, so that's some literary loaders.
You wanna try some musical loaders?

*copies and pastes all of AndyRoss's ideas

I recon you should build one that starts at 100 and counts down to -23 or one that startsat 0% and counts up until 131% and then plays.
Either or.

that andyross post was classic had me cracking up
why didnt dude be more specific in the initial post instead of popping back in and being like 'sorry, i was looking for ideas and not the actual loader' like a complete jackass

How about not holding all the stuff back and then not needing a preloader... always seems lazy to me.
