I just discovered a strange thing : I have a preloader in all my swfs. All work great online and when I test the swf or the preview in html exepted 1 : the first swf to be loaded called homepage.  
Here is the schema of the site : HTML page is linked ( with a enter btn)to the 1st swf called Homepage. No preloader gets visible and so, the swf takes a long time to load after clicking the enter button of the html page.  
Note : the html page is visible until the swf is totally loaded…  
Does sbdy knows why ?  
BTW, the preloader code comes from the great tuto from kirupa.  
Thanks.
