preloader stops

Why would a preloader go to 100% and then stop?
This is happening on the client's server. The same swf loads and plays properly on our server.
And from time to time the page doesn't even load at all. Just a blank screen. They set up a sub domain on their side to host this site. I'm wondering if it is causing the problem.
Anyone ever run into this?
thanks,

I'd try publishing your swf again and uplaod again... I've had files not go up properly that have even caused crashing

Unfortunately they won't let us upload to their server directly. We're having to give them the swf file.
wondering if something is getting corrupted in the delivery.

if corruption during delivery is a concern you could always .ZIP the file and email that.

I hate getting in that loop where you have no access... I had that a while back, ad had to give a password each time over the phone, and everything i wanted to do was off limits... grrr...
send a zip... also send a test swf that reports the bytes loaded / total etc... just so you can see what is happening

It might be a domain issue, since you mentioned the client messing with subdomains.
Flash player security settings wont let you access variables or call functions on a swf from a different domain unless you explicitely allow it.
So... if your scenario is something like:
loads:
files.site.com/sub.swf
and then main.swf preloads and tries to call a function on sub.swf to continue, it probably wont work.
