Hi there,

Ive producted an application form using components from the flash MX panel which has a simple percentage preloader at the beginning and is around 150kb, but when I test movie with the bandwidth profiler on, It shows that it takes around 35k before the preloader even kicks in, now if I remove all flash components from my library and retest the preloader kicks in straight away.  
anyone now why is this?

Thanks in advance…

that’s because all components must be exported in the first frame of your movie. the movie won’t show a thing until those components are fully loaded :-\

run a search in the forums and you’ll find all the info 😉

… and welcome to kirupa forums!! =)
