Hey All,

Ive been using a flash for just under three years, and for sum reason have never needed to create a preloader… until now ;(.

Please Help me out with a few problems:

1. Can someone confirm to me that a pre-loader loads ALL aspects of your site (e.g. your actual .SWF, and any XML and PHP attached to your site) so when someones on your page, it doesn’t slow down?

and 2) ive developing this site [http://www.pretendersseries.com/](http://www.pretendersseries.com/). When I load it on certain computers it takes long to load. Would a preloader solve this???

Thanks in Advance
