😕 preloader on CD?

Howdy all,

I have a project where a bit of code will trigger the loading of an external swf that contains an image. The image is quite large - over 3 MB - and everything in the main file seems to freeze for 5 seconds or so while it’s loading, which is quite annoying. I would love to create a preloader for it - or something that indicates that the image is loading to the viewer. However, the searching I’ve done indicates that it is not possible to have a preloader work for something that isn’t on the web (e.g. a CD or just an exe on your machine).

Is this true? :h:

Thanks! :hr:
