in Flash MX 2004 there is a function called
simulate download…
It is perfect to see how fast the flash loads
and IF it loads
the problem with my flash is that the loading screen has no working loading screen
it doesnt appear!
all we see is the screen once the movie is loaded…

what can cause this?
I use Stop(); things and all…
still nothin!

i believe he knows what simulate download is… he meant more info like your actionscript…

ok…
I got a stop(); in my first frame

and here the objects

Play button
**on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
**pressing this thingy makes the movie play!

4 LOADING words around the screen
**onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this._visible = false;
}
}
**the 4 text things vanish once the movie is loaded

the button visibility
**if (BytesLoaded == BytesTotal) { _root.TheButton._visible = true }
else { _root.TheButton._visible = false }
**this function makes the PLAY button be visible if the movie is loaded

the circle
**onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (bytes_loaded != bytes_total) {
this._rotation -= 5;
}
**as long as the movie loads, the circle rotates

the problem is instead of the beatifull spinning all I get is a white screen

your code seems to be quite a jumble - post a fla and ill polish it up for you…are you even using a getBytesLoaded() to set your bytes_loaded variable? you need to use the proper functions

getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal()
