Hello, Can anyone help me solv an anoying preloading problem? I’m a beginner in Flash MX, I tried to make a preloader to my Flash movie… it’s all OK with it, but, there’s only one thing I don’t really understand here… when I open the site with the flash movie, instead of the flash, a white sqare apear a few seconds… i guess a few seconds until the flash’s preloader section is loading. After that… the movie apears normally… How can I rid of that white square… Maybe the preloader is not really so good? Can anyone tell me how should I solve this problem… 👁 ---

The white is displayed while Flash is loading your preloader. Is it big? ---
