Loading Screen has delay

[irrelevantjoker]

hey all,

i've got a preloader for my large flash application but it doesn't appears straight away

the flash movie downloads 15% of the file before the loading screen even appears

i fear that slower internet users will assume it's broken and leave my site

i managed to cut down the amount to be loaded by removing alot the "export into first frame" stuff, but it's still quite a bit loading..

any suggestions?

Just prepare a parent movie and load your movie as a child movie. Here is a component which does it and replaces the parent movie completely with the child after loading.

In my opinion the change to export in frame 2 is not good, because it is too much work and can cause problems.
