Hi ...well the flash code may need altering.....to me it needs to change from this
Code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="650" width="750" data="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/20/138114/malvsn4.swf">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />

  <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/20/138114/malvsn4.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
</object>

to this
Code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="650" width="750" data="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/20/138114/malvsn4.swf">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />

  <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/20/138114/malvsn4.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
</object>

just the change in the object tag...but there's more...

The code is from here...
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/

and about halfway down there is mention that IE will not stream large movies using this code...there follows a desciption of possible workarounds.

The other alternative would be to use the more conventional code exported from say flash which should give you the correct behaviour.

regards

mike

I tried his solution and i'm not sure exactly what he's trying to say. He seems to be having the same problem that I am.... but i don't understand what to change. Sad Can i not just load the two slideshows on my page separately later on in the movie? tell it to load the 2 swf's later on

ok to try and keep things simple try using this code and see if the IE behavior changes...

Code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id=test width=750 height=650 codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0">
 <param name="movie" value="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/20/138114/malvsn4.swf" />
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
 <param name="quality" value="high" />
 <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
 <embed src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/7/20/138114/malvsn4.swf" width=750 height=350 bgcolor="#000000" quality="high" allowNetworking="internal" allowScriptAccess="never"
  type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

ok tried that code and my preloader still shows up in firefox but not in IE... also that code made everything smaller... either way IE still wants to load the whole move before showing anything SadSad

Ok well eliminated one possibility.

I did notice that in firefox the preloader did load but counted erratically so your suggestion of

with the aim I presume of removing the need for a preloader- especially one giving problems - is the best route.

Even if the loading of the gallery was at the beginning the core movie would be up and displaying something by then, nice and promptly to catch the attention of the visitor....I prefer this approach to using preloaders.. you could always have a simple 'loading galleries' indicator.
