Ok! A lot of you have discovered that when using components and or exporting stuff on the first frame (Linkage), most preloaders, although they still work, won't show up but very late in the preloading process.

One workaround is to create a new preloading movie, which sole purpose in life is to load your present movie, in which the present preloader should be removed.

It's very simple and basic. Once you get it working for you, you can easily modify the displayed elements (loading bar, text dislays, etc...), but outside of replacing the name used in this script ("content.swf"), with the name of your file, you shouldn't modify the rest of it, unless you're really sure of what you're doing.

Also make sure that you reset the stage size of this .fla to match the size of your present movie, and set the same framerate that you used in your movie.

Here's what it looks like:


And you can download it here:


You'll have to hit a second link in the middle of the page to continue downloading the zip package.

If that doesn't work, you can try:


Enjoy!

Those are my links, my files and my .flas!

But that's not necessarily what you should be using in your project! This is mainly in response to a preloading problem when using components and/or linkage on the first frame. Don't think it's your case! Regards,
