Hello,does anybody can help me to know what's the problem with my loading movie??If yes I don't mind to send you mu file.fla.
By the way i was talking about my site :
you can see there that my loading movie is not working.
thankyou.
I also appreciate any suggestion or opinion about this site.
 
the way it works is, you tell us what the 'problem' is, we try to help you 'fix' the problem.

first thankyou mr. Dave for your fast reply,my problem is that i cannot arrive to make my preloading movie replay many times, before seeing the original movie,instead of starting the original movie with some unloaded frames.
I don't know how to fix properly the preload movie.
 
Try it with actionScript - just mark the last frame with a name and then use the ifFrameLoaded(lastframename) function to loop (go to the first frame (the one with the loading movie in it) or to the next one).

But: With my 56k-connection the movie played with no problem - the kick with flash is that it's streaming ;-)

Preloading would be of really big use only if you had some bitmap images - these normally take a little longer to load. You can just display them with alpha=0 (so not making them visible but still having them in memory) for preloading.

Another tip for your navigation: The buttons should be always at the same place (could lead to empty spaces) - otherwise the user gets disoriented and confused. And you'll not get the big ones...
A feedback form (try PHP, it's really easy there) would also be helpful.

Hope this helps.
