You can also create a SWF file to use as a loading screen. In the Captivate Preloaders folder, there
is a sample SWF file and FLA file named "DefaultPreloader." You can use these files as templates
to create your own SWF file. If you add a custom loading screen, Captivate will call the following
functions if they exist on the main timeline of the SWF file:
function initialize(movieWidth:Number,
movieHeight:Number)

onProgress(loadedBytes:Number,totalBytes:Number)
function isDone():Boolean
