Hi all  
I am new to this forum and flash itself. It would be much appreciated if anybody can help me solve my problem. I’ve created a web site using flash 8 and put a preloader at the beginning, but for some reason it shows a white box first and then the preloader starts. This is very annoying really. That white box shows on some computers up to 1 minute. Again I would be very glad if any of you guys can help.

Thanks
