Hello,  
I have searched the forum a bunch of times, but being new to flash maybe I am not using the correct search terms.  
My preloader is an animation that spells out the name of the site, I don’t want the actual site to start playing until this opening animaton/preloader is finished spelling out the name.  
In searching I have found some preloaders that work with a looping preload, but if the site loads fast you will not see the enitire title spelled out.

To see how I want the preloader to work you can visit…

Or if anyone can direct me to a post with a similar question that’s great.  
Thanks, I have learned so much from this forum!
