Hi,

I have the following intro page for my developing website at the following link:

[www.bgeveritt.com](http://www.bgeveritt.com)

The question I have is, how do I get rid of that white flash that happens a split second before the preloader is launched. I know its not a big deal, I just feel it would look smoother once is was gone. Thanks for any help!

In HTML, set the BG of the flash object to black (#000000) :

```auto
  
		<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0)" width="300" height="300">
		  <param name="movie" value="intro_test.swf">
		  <param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
		  <embed src="intro_test.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="300"></embed>
		</object>

```

Add the Background tag in the html and change the bg color to black :

```auto
  
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0)" width="300" height="300">
 <param name="movie" value="intro_test.swf">
 <param name="quality" value="high">
**<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">**
 <embed src="intro_test.swf" quality="high" **bgcolor="#000000"** pluginspage="[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="300"></embed>
</object>
