I have a pre-loader built into my website. The preloader may look familiar to some in fact… Because I have to export the main site’s content - of which is held in various scrollpanes, to the first frame, the preloader doesn’t actually begin until these scrollpanes have finished loading.

How can I work around this? I want my preloader to start showing immediately when you go to the site as opposed to it’s current status, which is that it’s simply a blank screen as it loads the scrollpanes in the background before actually hitting the preloader.

Thanks! Here’s the site in question: [http://www.arudiusmusic.com](http://www.arudiusmusic.com)
