Preloader delay?

[westy2005]

I have got a preloader in front of a scrollbar component, which seems to work ok. However, when simulating download time there is a massive delay before the preloader will start!!

Yeah, component elements have to download before the first frame is ever played... In simmulated download, does the Frame box stick on frame 0... For how mant bytes roughly?

You'd be better off using a seperate preloader only movie, to load your movie cleared of it's ownpreloader.

Yeah it stays on frame 0 for ages! well over 1000kb!!!
