Hi,

sorry is I missed it anywhere but time’s pressing and I don’t have time to find it,

How do you delay the load of an swf.

You see, when my site opens, I want them to view my animated background for a few seconds before the main swf loads in,

See?

so whats the code for a couple second delay,

much appreciated,
