Hi David, here's my opinion since you asked,

Just say NO! to plain loading sequences.

The loading sequence should be a movie in itself. Say that again.

Take the audience's attention *away* from any perception of loading.

Get creative about this. Be a master of distraction.

Here are 2 LARGE movies with NO "please wait" loading sequences and yet
there is something going on all the time to keep attention.

The new webstaffing.net site (under construction)
http://www.webstaffing.net/wsn2

and the adult demo site:
http://www.webstaffing.net/adult
(note nudity)

If you look away from these when they are running, you'll miss something.
That's the trick IMHO.

Only 8 months left until the year 2000.
Is your website Flash-3 Compliant yet?
