hi guys, basically my .swf is all complete and everything works fine apart from one thing.

when hosted online, and you go to veiw the .swf, it is just a white area until its completely loaded and then plays from frame 1. However i have a prelaoder and it works fine when tested within flash. I thought it was the preloader so ive changed it a number of times and its still not loading from frame one but still works fine tested in flash, its just waiting to load the whole .swf until it plays. any ideas why?

also im sure i saw a setting somewhere about how the .swf is streamed over the internet? maybe its that. Please help!
