When linking PreLoaders, the preloader SWF is stuffed into a sprite-
Actionscript paths like "/myvariable" or "_root.myvariable"
won't work anymore, because the locations are now, respectively,
"/loader/myvariable" or "_root.loader.myvariable".

The best way to make it work anyhow is probably to add code like

    if(this.framesloaded < this.totalframes) {
        GotoFrame(0);
        Play();
    }

to the last frame of the loader, and then link it with

    swfcombine --cat loader.swf file_to_be_loaded.swf

Greetings
