Hi guys I am desperate for help so I thought if I could pick the brains of the clever people in here.

I am trying to complete a website for a client but I am really stuck with a loadmovie action that I cannot find the solution to. I have a website that I had to split up as the loading time was too long. I have used a loadMovie function and it loads the external movie but the problem is that the external movie requiring a little bit of time to load I want a preloader to come first.

I have attached screenshots of this (wssmain liks to the arch_mc1) . The problem is that the movie loads but the preloader doesn't play initially but after the movie its loaded defining the point of a preloader. The user waits for a short while then preloader comes up (very shortly and the mc plays) Anybody has any ideas why?

The first screenshot shows the wssmain whereas the second (preloader2) shows the arch_mc1. If the fla files are required I will make them available for download.

The site

WSS Consultants

To see what I mean above click on Architecture and then one the first project.

Thanks in advance,

Nik
