I’m currently working on a Flash website for a client;

The file is around 4.1Mb in total (its a portfolio page)

I tryed using an internal Pre-loader but it wasn’t very efficient,

So i decided to use a external pre-loader. The pre-loaders works when I visit the raw file (eg. www.site/flash/swf/file.swf)

But when i embed it in a HTML page (eg. [www.site.com/index.html](http://www.site.com/index.html))  
the pre-loader just freezes? and stays on 0%

The pre-loader is just the component pre-loader in flash.  
and just bounces between the 2 frames until its loaded

anyone have any idea whats happening?

ive been stuck with it for weeks now?

any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers
