What's wrong with Flash?

[DearCali]

I did a flash thumb gallery & t doesn't work right away when I upload it online. It starts as a blank image & after about 15 seconds it finally loads. Is there anyway I can fix this? Can I have it load someway else?

I have a normal flash gallery on my first page & that works just fine.

Check out what I mean:

You probably need a preloader if it is a matter of taking long time to load things in the beginning which seems like the issue...

There's a whole thread on preloading best practices in the best practices section, so be sure to check that out if you want to see what others think of the various preloading methods.
