-I'm working on my first preloader, and technically everything works as it should. There does seem to be an issue however where the preload screen doesn't show up until it's about 30% of the way through.
I've tried a few things to help it along (publish settings: export frame for classes frm:2, Linkage for preloader logo, "export in first frame" -deselected.) -no real change in performance.
I've included the size report below if anyone wants to take a look and provide suggestions.
thanks a bunch,
mike

yes, that was my first thought, and I was able to really compress it to a very small file. It seems that what's really adding to the overall size of the preloader is a piece of dynamic text that simply shows the % loaded. It's showing up as about 20,000 bytes. -not sure if there's a way to get the total bytes down for a piece of dynamic text (only embedded numerals) that was created in Flash.
