I am trying to implement a preloader in a movie, but it seems as if the whole movie is being downloaded before the preloader starts.
Let’s say the movie is 30k large, and it shows external JPG’s passed in with XML. In the bandwidth profiler, it shows the download of the movie (30k) and then my preloader kicks in, and then the profiler shows the download of the first JPG while the preloader shows the progress.
Is there any way that I can get the preloader to show immediately, showing the progress of the SWF as well as the first image?
From what I have read in the docs, the SWF should begin playing before the whole file is downloaded, but this is not happening.
Any help is appreciated.
