    Preloader slow to show up.

    Hey guys,

    Like most sites, I preload each section of my site individually. I have a preloader for each, but it seems like the thing doesn't show up until it is 60-75% finished already (mostly on the subpages). Anyone have an idea why that would be?

    Movie with linkage.

    If there is alot of movie with linkage name that are export on first frame. They actually load before your preloader even start.

    A good way to fix this is to not export on first frame and you leave a frame at the beginning where you put all the movie usually export on first frame. You can put it outside the viewer box or just put something on top of it so that user don't see those movie.

    Components, attached movie clips and/or sounds, and new fonts in the Library, will prevent your preloader from displaying anything while all the linked elements download before the first frame.
    The easiest workaround, when using components and/or more than the odd attached movie clip or sound, is to use a new seperate preloader only movie, which will load your present movie cleared of it's own present preloader. I will PM you a link to such a preloader only .fla...
