[F8] Preloader doesn't show till about 80%

[maxelcat]

I have a site with about 6 scenes, the first of which is a preloader.


From the size report:

1        1081277        1081277    preloader
2         140276        1221553    index (AS 2.0 Classes Export Frame)
3          85504        1307057

I don 't see why the preloader scene is so large - all it has is a 40Kb image and a movieclip mask.

The preloader doesn't start to show until about 80%. I have exported the classes in frame 2.

What else can I try please?

You can see the offending beast at www.maxelcat.co.uk/tests/index.html

and the fla is here www.maxelcat.co.uk/tests/eeweb5.fla

Would really appreciate any help
