I have noticed that myself. I dont think there’s anything you can do about it. It just shows that b4 it loads the beginning of tha movie and see’s tha background iz a different color ---

reduce the time it remains White by making the size of your preloader as low as possible. or do what i did for [vts330.tripod.com](http://vts330.tripod.com) and just make your entire HTML white also. other than that im not sure there is anything one can do. ---

Thheeennnnnn I have no idea lol I dun think there’s a way to correct it it’s jus how it iz It reads tha HTML b4 tha flash…and it places a whitebackground as default where tha flash iz supposed to be inside tha HTML, until the movie begins to load. ---

Making it a transparent object will often help on IE… I haven’t really figured out how to solve that problem though. I think that this is one of the banes of all of our existances. ---

Its very easy to solve this problem. when u finished ur flash animatoin press (Ctrl+M) (Movie Properties) and change ur background Color as u like. I think this may be correct way just try. Bye ---

this works sometimes, but there have been times when the movie backround is black but shows up white.
