[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Greetings, Kirupians.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]This is not so much a problem, just a query I’d like to know more about before I start my Flash site. It’s regarding preloaders.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]In the past, whenever I have build a site, the preloaders have always been on empty white backgrounds, before jumping to the appropriate page with all the pretty pictures, text and background image, etc.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]However, on my next site, I want the pre-loader to work on the same frame as the background is placed. But when I made a quick example to test this out (test movie, then hitting control & enter to view the pre-loader) the loading bar does not show at all. The page pre-loads, but all I see is a white page, until the 100% is loaded. It’s not until then that everything pops up.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Is this because, with the background image placed on the first layer, the image is too big, and so the pre-loader cannot be seen? Is it too busy trying to load the bg image, that it cannot display the preloader bar at the same time?[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Hope this makes. If anyone could clear this up for me, I’d very much appreciate it.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Thanks all.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
Fulci.
