Hello. I’m fairly new to flash and built a website, that does both images and flash. I have 3 flash files, 1 for a top animation, 1 for a navigation, and 1 for my bottom header. Anytime I load a page or click a link to visit the next page from an external link, like going from page1.html to page2.html, it instantly loads everything besides the flash files, which blink WHITE for half a second, then displays the content in the flash files. I’ve looked up some information on [google.com](http://google.com), and came across what some other have recommended to other users having the same issue, which they mention using a preloader.

this is what the white flash looks like on my website

" the white areas are the flash files a second before they load "

So, I tired to create a preloader with no luck at all. I followed instructions perfectly to add in a preloader for my animation but i kept getting errors upon a preloader loading and it wouldn’t load the content. Now, my project in Flash 8 looks like this, have 1 layer on the timeline, which that 1 layer has 1 frame, which that 1 frame has a movie on the fram and when you double click it, then leads to the animation I created for that movie. (i’ve provided images below for you guys to see.)

Part 2: [http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/9676/part2rw0.jpg](http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/9676/part2rw0.jpg)

My question would be:  
How do I add in a preloader for a project from the above images i’ve posted? If someone could point me in the right direction to a tutorial, or post some instruction steps on how to perform this that would be awesome. The white flashing is just terrible looking and I’ve been spending all day try to find a fix for this.

Thanks guys, I love the site. this site finally made me step up to flash and eat it like an apple, just gotta get the white flash thing gone. Thanks again.
