i’m developing a web where i want to show a flash on the index page. The flash got 3Mb size. But while it is downloading, i just see a white space where it should be.
I have tried putting an image in the background, but i just see white until the flash is fully downloaded…
Any tip? I would like to see the first image of the flash, or an static image while it is loading?
im just putting it in the direct way

Depending on your environment, flex, flex builder, flash, etc, the method will be different. But what you are looking for is a ‘preloader’. You move all your resources out of the first frame and move it to the second frame, the movie will load the first frame fast, display your ‘loading message’, then stop, and actionscript runs checking for the load progress of the swf, when it is complete, it advances to the second frame and plays your movie.
