I have a flash website that I have tested on multiple machines and received various results…from my preloaders that is.
I have a main SWF file (which the preloader for that ALWAYS works) and I have external SWF’s that load into sections of the main SWF. I used loader components on my main SWF to load the external SWF’s.
Each external SWF also has their own preloaders and that is the part that is so inconsistant! When I post everything online and test the site, the preloaders for the external SWF’s usually don’t appear and the space is left blank until the content loads. However, I have tested this on some machines and the preloaders DID work…that is some preloaders work while others don’t; and I get different results each time I test it. So its just a very confusing problem.
I doubt that its the actionscripting that needs to be fixed because it does, theoretically work, but rather I was courious about any/all export settings and any other factors that may be the cause of this inconsistancy.
My goal is to have the preloaders work EVERYTIME. I mean I have been to flash sites that preload something (an image for instance) and even if I visit another part of the site, and come back to that image, the preloaders still appear, no matter how many times I’ve been back there. An example is from this (very well done) site:

In that site the preloaders appear everytime. That’s what I want. Can someone help me out? If you need a better understanding of what I’m asking, please let me know. Thanksabunch!
