hello all,

i have a litt..er somewhat big problem on my part. i have a movie that loads
on start, the loading worlk fine and all, except for one aspect. when you go to
the page, [if using a 56k or lower modem], you'll see a blank page then an
animation and the loading bar with much of the load completed.

the problem is, the animation needs to play as soon as the page starts to load
[it's very small]. it will stop at the load bar, and load from 0% [or close to
0%] untill it reaches 100% and play another animation before entering the main
interface..... can anyone tell me what i can do to solve this problem. i need
the first animation to play right away.

here is my test site, [l=DEMi]www.geocities.com/uends/newWebIndex.html[/l]...
this is just a test page and is not fully functional. also, it may be too small
for broadband connections to require a loading sequence. a 56K or lower is
ideal to see the problem, but still check it out.

Note: i used the profiler to test and debug this process, but it acts the same
way.... no matter what i do, it does not change, my earlier backups work
well.... i am constanly wondering if the size of the file matters [it has
gotten bigger].

thank you,

i'm afraid if i load it from another movie, it will cause alot of
complications and i will have to rewrite all my scripting. i'm really hoping
that i don't have to go through that again, but... oh well

thanks again.
