Hi,

I have created web site with AS3 using Flashdevelop, but I can not test the preloader. Whole SWF file is not big (about 100K) so when I run it everything is loaded instantly and I can’t see if preloader is actually doing something. I don’t have Flash CS4 or 3 so I don’t have bandwith profiler.  
Does anybody knows how to simulate slow connection? Couple a days ago whan I was searching I saw some solution with adding of Timer in preloader but I have closed the site without paying attention …  
I know that this is allready doscussed somewhere in the forum but search is returnng me many, many results.  
Anyway, if somebody knows solution - please post link or couple of suggestions.  
Thanks in advance
