Hey guys, I used a preloader that I found in a tutorial a long time ago. I have set up a mask to block the bar and the mask reveals the bar as the download progresses. It works fine but it does have one annoying kink.

For an instance it shows the entire bar and then it proceeds to block out the bar and then slowly reveal it again… I imagine that this is a common enough situation so I didn’t post the FLA. The Preloader is about as generic as it can get. This is for [Http://www.sergprotector.com](Http://www.sergprotector.com). Thanks
