I’m trying to use preloaders in a flash website I’m building, but I’m having some problems. The initial preloader, to load the main .swf movie always works, but inside the main .swf, I have external .swf’s loaded into various parts of the main movie. Now, each external movie also contains a preloader, but when everything is where it needs to be and the full webpage is posted online, the external movies play okay, but without showing the preloader. The space that the external movie will (eventually) show up remains blank until its ‘blindly’ loaded and begins playing. Now, the weird thing is that I have tested the website on multiple machines and the results I’m getting are random; meaning that some external .swf’s will show the preloader and some others won’t. Then I’ll try it again on a different machine and the external .swf’s that before didn’t show the preloader, now WILL show the preloader and the external .swf’s that showed the preloader before, now WON’T show. Is this because the preloader I’m using is outdated, or what? Another thing is that when I test this webpage on an FTP site, ALL the preloaders work, every time. So I never know how its gonna behave until it ‘officially’ online. Sorry if this was confusing, but its a confusing problem. If you would like to test the webpage for yourself (and hopefully know what I’m talking about), the URL is:
Look for ‘empty’ spaces that are idle for longer than they should be and you’ve found a space where a preloader should show-up, but doesn’t.
Can someone assist me? Thanks alot!
