Hi its my first time posting and im kind of new with flash, i tried to use the preloader component that can be found at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_component.htm for an entirely flash site i have. The problem is that when i load a movie its doesnt show the preloader immediately but it shows it when it is almost completely loaded so it does not fulfill its function does it? I tried putting another preloader (one that is not a component) and still it took a while to load and started at the end. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? If you want to view the site its [url=“http://www.colchonrock.com”]http://www.colchonrock.com](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_component.htm) maybe youll be able to help me. Anyway thanks to all!
