Adding a loading screen

You can add a loading screen to the beginning of your movie. A loading screen might be useful if
the first slide of the movie is large or contains audio and takes a few moments to appear.
Captivate includes several loading screen images you can use, or you can create a custom image.
To make a custom image available as a loading screen option, use Windows Explorer to copy
and paste the image into the following folder: ProgramFiles\Macromedia\Captivate
\Gallery\Preloaders.
