I have the attached fla for my preloader. It is a logo that “fills up” as the load % increases. I have it placed on the 1st frame in my timeline to load additional content. When i upload the file to my server and click to open the swf, the preloader doesnt show and instead the whole file downloads with a blank screen before anything is displayed. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

PS. i am working in Flash MX

Download a working example of a preloader from my FFILES profile.
