Can I use a preloader / loading page if my site is NOT Flash?

Hello!

I’m soooo new in the world of Flash…

For the moment I have added a lot of flash movies into my main non-flash website. Especially in the homepage, which takes a bit to load. So I thought that a preloader would be nice.

But, from what I read so far, preloaders work when the ENTIRE site is flash (right?). What can I do to have a nice preloader movie while my home page loads up (with all the individual flash movies, images, etc.)?

Many thanks for your help!

You can put a preloader on each individual file on your site, so they will preload individually.

And as for preloading images you can use a javascript preloader… you can find one or two or three at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ somewhere.

from the sounds of it you could probably stand to break your site up a bit and bring in/load content only as needed … then like Beta said (^^^) …

…a lot of smallish pauses for loading are much more endurable than a long one of those

Thanks guys!

I’ll have a look at this site and I’ll take think about what you suggested!
