Hi  
I was working lately on this tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm)  
and I wanted to make sth similar but a little more complicated (only in looks - not in code).  
Its sth like this: I got a sheet of paper with loaded .swf file on it (same as in that tutorial); then the sheet wraps itself (the .swf file on it disapears because the sheet is a MASK); when it is wraped another .swf file is loaded; and at the end the sheet unwraps and the new contet (new .swf) is revealed.  
And I got this problem:  
when the new .swf file is being loaded it appears for a half of a second (even if there is NO MASK on it - and it shouldn’t be seen!) before even the sheet begins to unwrap. Why do I have such effect ? It completely ruins the cool thing with wraping. Can you give me any advice ? There is no such thing in mentioned tutorial :-/
