Does your site have a preloader? If your site is large in file size and if you don’t have a preloader then the only thing you will see is a blank white screeen for awhile.

No, it doesn’t have preloader. I checked the total bytes to be loaded. It’s only 67kb. Is that a big file? Give it a try, it’s [www.dndfsco.com](http://www.dndfsco.com). The loading bar in the bottom doesn’t even progress.

That’s a small file size for a site.  
If you right click on the IE window it says about flash so there is Flash on the page.  
It might be something as simple as adding a _Play_ command on your first frame.

Correct me if I’m wrong. The way to get the total bytes to be loaded is the ‘\_root.getBytesLoaded()’ command, right?

It’s my first time to upload a flash file on the net. Can I put the ‘play’ command in the first frame of any layer?

I found my mistake. My flash file is capitalized. Stupid me. Thanks for all your help!
