Preloader problem

1

I have a swf file which is hardly 200 KBs. I have placed a preloader bar as well as have the script - ifFrameLoaded().
Problem is the preloader is not showing till the loaded value is around 90%.
Since this file has a bit of actionscript involved (for interactive features) I doubt if that could be a hinderance.
Any idea anyone?

thanks

The problem might be caused because the preloader is only visible if the first frame is loaded. your swf might be 200kb but when your preloader is already 175 you can have a problem.

at the foloowing link you find a great preload script with some explanation about how preloaders work

Kind regards Jos

You’re right, the first frame itself is around 160 kb (which also has the preloader). How to deal with this kind of a problem?
This method has worked for all the other animation files i have, except this one (which is the smallest one).

finally! It’s working alright. Few components with export in actionscript had the option “export in first frame” on! - http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/beginner/Common_Errors_and_Debugging/index3.shtml

I’m glad it’s working now.
If you can send me a link of the website.
I’m curious what it looks like.
