Broken Preloader?

[jhubsch]

I made this super long (2m30s) Flash intro for my website.

Because it's so long and thus high file size, I created a preloader for it (I plan to have a skip button since it's huge).

The movie itself has music to it, with visual elements coinciding with specific audio elements in sync. Because of this, I wanted the movie to be 100% loaded so a visitor would press Play and watch the movie without lag interrupting the synchronization.

Last night I uploaded this to test it out.... and it doesn't work right.

The preloader counts to the 100% (very quickly though), and I can then press play, but the visual elements lag far behind the audio elements they are intended to be synchronized with.

However, when I preview the Flash movie within Flash, they are all synched up fine.

Why isn't it like that on the web? And how can I fix it?

For the record, the preloader code used is identical to the tutorial on this site.

And, for reference, the URL to my flash intro is

The actual FLA file?

http://www.wes-ide.com/intro5d.fla

Open that and hit CTRL+Enter to preview, and the movie synchs up right.

Why won't it do so online?

Your sound's Sync (in the sound's properties) needs to be set to "stream" rather than "event" as you have it, if you want Flash to try and maintain some relative tight sync when this is online.
