you shouldn’t worry about that… the movie is just too small =) ---

I just created that cause the real swf file is 400 kbs. I justed created it copying the same scene. Well left out lots of stuff cause the problem is there. The other works OK. You see it really starts after 40%, that means that the user must load 160 kbs before seeing anything. And the file depends on someother swf. So people might think the page is not working or not loading unless you have a broadband. You´d have to wait around 15 seconds before you saw the percentage loader. ---

use a swf loader to dinamically load the main movie. with a small swf with just the loader objects your problem is solved 😉 ---

How is that? If I understand I should make a swf file to load the main movie. If that so. Can you give me a push. Thank you very much on the input. ---
