Hello folks! :?)

I’m making a website with a flash intro… the problem is that i’m having a little problem on my loading bar on the preloader before the flash intro. The problem consists in the following:

**»** I want that the masked image to be a panda;  
**»** There’s something here that i’m not making allright, 'cause i’m not being able to make it. The most i can make is to shrink and strech the panda, when what i really want is that the panda stands still, and appears as the swf is loaded;  
\*\*» \*\*I already tried to switch the layers contents between each other, and the most that i can achieve is to make a blue panda to appear, when what i want is that the panda shows up in those original black and white colors;

Well, the fla is here attached so you can help me better if you wish to take a look… I could use some help… :look:

Thanks in advance! :sure:
