Loading message when opening SWF file

[Zagzebski]

I am a newbie to Captivate. Some of the files I create are a bit larger and it takes 5-10 seconds before they open up (using Internet Explorer). Is there any way of having "loading" message to have running until the file starts up. I am afraid the users are going to think it is not working because it is basically a blank screen until the file starts running. Just wondering...

Hi there

Sounds like you need to enable the preloader.

Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick.

So I selected a file for the preloader under the AS2 directory. I published the file. When I opened the file still no message - just the 7 or 8 seconds of a blank screen. Any thoughts?
