Hi All,

I’m new here so please go steady… (-:

I’m building my first ever Flash website for a relatives’ hairdressers. It’s not quite finished (awaiting professional photographer delivering more images) but I’m generally happy with the animation for a first attempt. However, my problem is this - before I added in the pre-loader the site would load and the Home Page animation would play as I’ve added a variable called currentPage:

var currentPage = “contentHome\_mc”;  
\_root.onLoad = function() {  
animateOn(“contentHome\_mc”);  
};

Since I’ve added the pre-loader, the site loads but this first animation doesn’t play. It will however play if you click away from the Home Page and back again. Any ideas???

Many thanks for any help.

Cheers,

Gary
