Ah, I see the problem. Add a stop() action to frame 3. It keeps looping around therefore the function isn’t working properly.

And for suggestion, please make your text unselectable 🙂

Click on your textbox, open the properties panel (CTRL+F3) at the bottom you will see 3 buttons. One has what looks to be a page with lines, this sets a border around the textbox, one has \< and \> tags which sets it to be HTML enabled (although I prefer to do that through AS), and another one is an “Ab” with the be having a dark background signifying selectable. Make sure that isn’t pressed.

That is because the preloader component SUCKS!!! It seriously does, I hate that thing with a passion.

Just read the tutorial man, you gotta learn sometime.

you have to add a third blank keyframe to the preloader laayers and delete all preloader content on that keyframe

I think that newbies like me can make an ok site but you have to put in much more effort.
