Hello, I am very new to flash and have just built my very first flash website, my knowlege of coding is very limited!

I managed to build a preloader following a tutorial and when i test it on a simple movie it works perfectly. However, when I insert it onto my full flash website, all i see is these 5 silly little dots loading on the screen for ages, and I cant find any way to get rid of them.

You can see what I mean at www.joegilbertdesign.co.uk

Also on a seperate issue, I suspect my site might be massive at 6.78mb, and I tried running a flash optimizer which did nothing, any suggestions?

Really really appreciated, many thanks

Joe.
