Hi all,
I have a problem with my preloader
I have a main swf file and it has its own preloader and the file contain the main layout and navigation.
and if clicked on any button in the navigation it loads another swf with it's preloader but the problem is : it doesnt appear when u just click on the button, there's a delay time (4-5 sec.)
so it started at 20-30%
so i need to remove this delay so they can appear from the start 1%

i saw alot of sites using the same concept (main file loading in it sub files without that delay)

thanx in advance
attached zip file with same concept i used with dummy data

thanx again

The only idea I have is to try loading the sub-movies when you load the main movie... as segments... I haven't taken a look at the file, I'm not a home right now...
The other thing you can try is have the first movie display a pre-loader while the second movie loads, and skip the preloader in the second movie.... if I'm confusing you, I appoligize, since I'm not where I can really mess with all the details exactly...

the problem is (I think) that pre loader is taking time to even load itself. The preloader cant display until the movie clips and graphics it is comprised of are loaded, get it?

Yes I got it but is there anything I can do to avoid this problem !?
I saw alot of sites with v.heavy preloader without this prob.
plus my preloader is just a loading bar without heavy graphics!

thanks
