when you guys click one of the areas on the map, does anything happen ?

(Jun 13 05, 15:01)Yes, but after 10 seconds.
I had a similar problem, and it's related on how much stuff you put in the firts frames of the movieclip: my preloader worked fine but the bar advance, after a while of nothing ti see started from a third of its course!

cool thanks, so what did u do to fix it ?
are you saying to keep the first few frames empty ? ?
- Beech0
ok. that makes sense. I guess. I think my preloader is different to blackspades as his is inside the extenal swf (i think) while mine is all in the actionscript code.
it's the delay before the preloader even starts that confuses me.
- blackspade0
yes thats my issue beech
the delay b4 the preloader starts cranking
btw; fariska, your site is a bit flicky/buggy in safari

exactly, I think the time is spent finding the location of the file on the server. Maybe there is a way to link the files to their location without actually downloading it (like we werediscussing yesterday as a possible solutio)... or am I way off???

anyways, I gotta go have dinner with my folks so i'll check on this thread later, i'm sure someone here will know a solution :)
thanks in advance

(Jun 15 05, 01:34)almost empty, just the stuff (actionscript, and bars) to have the preloader. Music and graphics in next frames.
And, about my site in safari, can you explain better, or send me an e-mail with the issues you found. Soon i'll rework it (soon... i hope)

make a new scene at the start with just the preloader, therefore all that needs to load for the preloader to work is the preloader.
