Hi Eva, thanks for looking. It is not the graphics fault, that only adds about

12k to the whole thing. The problem is the host server I have chosen. The

complete SWF is only 55k with a 2k HTML page, I have ADSL and the whole thing

should load in about 1/2 of a second for me. However I see the preloader as

well for a second, and so has a cable modem user.

 This is something that I hadn't counted on, finding slow servers out there,

it's a contingency that you can't really test for. You can spend all the time

in the world creating a great flash site, with cool preloaders, but if it sits

on a slow server you will lose you audience.


Darren.
