Hello, thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer. I always have a white box appear (in my dreamweaver created site) where my flash aps. are inserted. Once the swf has loaded its all fine, but how do i get rid of the ugly white box that just sits there until the movie has loaded? you can see the prob on www.millhouseproductions.com. - especially the home or video page. oh and please don't laugh at the site - i'm a newbie, a BIG newbie!!

THANKS LOVELY PEOPLE!

I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106. the white box only appears for a second whilst the clip is loading, then vanishes. Once you have viewed the page, it doesn't return... odd that you cant see it?

The only way I see you can rid of this is make the movie file smaller. He probably can't see your problem because he is on a faster connection. No matter what you do the file needs to be loaded, and if you go back to it, it is cached so of course you don't see the box again.
