Hey all Just having a slight difficulty with my preloader.

I have recently modified it so that the preloader nicely fades in, preloads and then fades out once the entire mc is loaded.

My problem is that is appears to function corrrectly when your on a nice high speed connected, but when you stimulate the download under 56k for example, the preloader will either fade in and then out before the entire movie is loaded (meaning there is nothing on screen while the entire mc is loading) or it will not appear on screen until the entire movie is loaded (defeating the entire purpose on having one, it will appear on screen for 1 second).

Im not sure why it is doing this.

If someone could give me a hand would be greatly appreciated.
