hi there... i'm having a new strange problem with my flash site... IE7 seems to not display my preloader but instead loads the movie with a white screen... the movie does load though...

this is a new problem, as it never use to happen before... it use to show everything... does anyone know why this suddenly started to happen? i've cleared the cache... could this be an issue with Flash CS3? any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as i've been working on this site for almost a year, and i'm about to launch...

any ideas?

i discovered the problem is because i'm using SWFAddress, and that flash movies with anchors "#" in the address makes it go all crazy... i'm still trying to fix it... attempting the "satay method": http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamwea...ash_satay.html

and yes, i'm using Flash CS3...

Hello, I am currently experiencing the same issue. When I load my movie in Firefox, the preloader screen shows when the movie is loading. But this is not true when I use IE7. What happens in IE7 is that the movie loads in the background (Shows a blank screen while this happens). Then when it gets done loading, it quickly shows the loading screen and then plays the movie. Here is a link to a post I made on another forum about this issue.

I used Swishmax to make my movie. If you have managed to solve this problem, I would really appreciate if you could help me out. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am trying to stop an image preload sequence by the click of a mouse but have been unsuccessful trying several methods. Imagine this simple script below that loads 50 images to cache. If the stopPreload() function is activated and the ret val set to false, the preload() function still continues to the end. Any suggestions on how to stop the preload() function in its process, what conditions are necessary?

Hi. I am in great need of a preloader for my Flash web site. I have looked at a lot of tutorials and examples, but I can not seem to get it to work. How do I add a preloader to my existing Flash app??? (if you look at www.abmpic.com you will see that it takes too long to load without a preloader)

okay, the scenario: i have a header image which changes randomly across all pages in the site. that works fine. i also have an image preloader within the random header picker which theoretically loads the header image before the rest of the graphical content on the page. however, what appears to be happening, judging by the status bar messages, is that the banner always loads last. here's the random header code -

I have noticed on sites that on a page a preloader will run and one or more flash movies will appear. Then the preloader does not reappear on subsequest revists to that page during the same browser session, as if the swf is loaded into memory and replays. Is my assumption correct and how exactly do I do this with my preloader?

Hi, I am having a problem with a published Flash Movie. I included a preloader and the whole file size of the .swf is only about 1MB. If I go to the movie, it pauses even before the preloader appears on the screen. I have the preloader located on frame 1 & 2 of the first scene. When I test the movie out of Flash and I view bandwidth and simulate a download, it shows that the movie is at Frame 0 for approximately 10 seconds. (I am...

Hello everyone, I have created a preloader which is nested and has three frames inside. On frame one the following actionscript is: _parent.stop(); (which simply stops the main movie from playing) On frame two the following actionscript is: kBytesLoaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded()/1024;

Hi- I'm getting some weird flickering of objects (not the preloader elements) during the "Simulate Download" test (56k) of my Flash 8 movie. I'm on cable modem , and the preloader runs so fast at normal speed I'm not sure if it's happening then. Ever seen this before? Thx.
