I got a preloader to work perfectly on my local server, there is the perfect little percentage marker and a nice fade in, however, when I post it online the files are being downloaded too quickly, or not really at all. They don’t even seem to be being preloaded even though the preload loadlistener shows a scale from 0 to 100 percent.  
Could someone look at my code and at the site and see what’s going on? I am almost at the end of this project and would love to move on to the more exciting stuff!  
Thanks in advance.

This is the code for one of the four preloaders (one for each quadrant):

filename = [“01.jpg”, “02.jpg”, “03.jpg”, “04.jpg”, “05.jpg”, “06.jpg”, “07.jpg”, “08.jpg”, “09.jpg”];  
path = “[http://www.inadequateanimal.com/pictures/topleft/](http://www.inadequateanimal.com/pictures/topleft/)”;  
i = filename.length;  
k = Math.floor(Math.random()\*i);

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
startLoading(path+filename[k]);  
infoField.\_visible = true;}  
function startLoading(whichImage) {  
loadMovie(whichImage, topleftloader);  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
infoLoaded = topleftloader.getBytesLoaded();  
infoTotal = topleftloader.getBytesTotal();  
percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal\*100);  
infoField.text = percentage+"%";  
if (percentage\>=100) {  
infoField.\_visible = false;  
this.gotoAndStop(2);

```
  }

```

};  
}  
stop();

It works perfectly on the local server, even when downloading each image from the url. When posted to the index2.html there is no pause as files are completely loaded… just a flickering 100% and then an image that pops up a little late!
