Hello everyone!

If you could all take a brief moment and hop over to [http://www.jonathanli.ca](http://www.jonathanli.ca)

You’ll notice that you’ll be staring at a stark grey background, seemingly just wasting your life away. It is in fact however loading a SWF with a pre-loader that isn’t working the way it should be! Could someone perhaps suggest why this may be? Is it the javascript embedding that’s the culprit? I have used the same technique before on other sites without a hitch, but for some strange reason it isn’t working now and I can’t figure it out for the life of me.

I don’t have access to the AS for the pre-loader at the moment, but will provide it once I am at home and can access the source file. Thanks again guys.
