# Everyone's a critic ;)
but you may have a point. Strangely I did put one in but it doesn't seem to come up. To be honest though, I did the whole thing in two very stressful weeks of evenings so I had to draw a line somewhere and sorting out preloaders for a 2 second wait is very very far past that line.

# Yeah but the content
still loads as you change the page, is the text and images on the pages loaded dynamically or is it included in the flash file? If its included do a GetBytesLoaded Preloader, just good practice.

# They're loaded dynamically.
Thing is, if you just hold your horses for a few second there shouldn't be a problem. Could be worse...I could have had Web 2.0 reflections etc Now THAT'S bad practice! ;)

PS. Is there another type of preloader that I don't know about?

# Yeah, theres a long way of doing it.
takes about 5 frames and a fuckload more actionscript. Google it, not done one for ages.
