Adding preloader to existing fla

I have an existing fla project.  I need to add a preloader screen to the project.  Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to do this.  I have found several preloader's but when I try to add to the existing fla, the preloader does not work.  I am adding the additional layers for the preloader to the top of the timeline and I move the existing movie frames over ~10 frames (to the end of the preloader).  When I run the movie, the preloader does not run but the movie starts immediately.  Sometimes the preloader shows up after the movie plays.

The movie that I am using is a rather large file and my customers that are on slow connections will not like not seeing anything happen while the movie loads.

Thanks,

Craig

Nagatyve...What do you mean by "click and drag the preloader scene *over* the previously existing  scene/s" ???

it the scene panel, you can click a scene name and drag it before other scenes names. that means that the scene will be played before the other scenes, as the playing order is (looking at the scene panel) from up --> bottom
Got it working!  Used a combination of both replies.  Thanks for the help!!!
