The Flash movie runs correctly with the preloader when it is run inside Flash. When I upload to IE, the preloader doesn’t run.

Any ideas?

Thanks

When you test it in flash, the bandwidth simulater is simulating a connection speed of something slower than 56k I believe.

So if you’re testing it on your computer, it will load right away because it’s not downloading it. It will skip your preloader.

If you’re testing it live from a server and if you’re on a fast connection, you’ll probably see the preloader for a split second if your file size isn’t large.

Actually, it seems that the was a caps problem, and IE was loading an older version of the file.  
Now all is well.  
Thanks
