Hello

Why does a white screen appear on the html page where my flash movie is embedded while THE HTML PAGE loads? I have a preloader in the swf and the preloader is like 25% done by the time the swf loads on the HTML Page and shows the movie preloading

I see other sites and the swf movies start right away (there’s no white while the html page loads.
