i put a file up at [www.flashtek.devisland.net/website.fla](http://www.flashtek.devisland.net/website.fla) can someone please check it out and tell me what’s wrong. I think all the script and frames is right…so I have no clue as to what’s going on. The file is 3 megs…so it’s not for 56kers. TIA ---

I can’t say as I saw any problems with it. Chances are that you are just viewing it off of your computer, if so, it loads to fast for you to see it. Press CTRL+Enter twice (once to preview your movie, twice to preview in show streaming mode) so that it will act as though a slow modem were view it. I did that and I got the “Please Wait… Site Initializing…” text. ---

Oh wait, I think I see what you mean now. You are also trying to do a load bar and percentage thing am I right? If so… try this tutorial… [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm) Or for load progress without a load bar check this one… [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm) ---

no…i don’t think you get it…check out the movie…in the preloader scene there are 2 frames…1 with the site initializing text, another with the preloader. The file just plain skips the preloader and goes to the 1st frame of the mainsite scene. However I already fixed it(ty for helping) by some weird way…i’ll put the file up on the site really soon…link: [www.flashtek.devisland.net/website.swf](http://www.flashtek.devisland.net/website.swf)
