flash preloader NOT working in Internet Explorer

[Egg Bramhill]

The size will not distort if you place it in the main site and you could leave your nav buttons above it to allow the visitor to break away from the presentation. See screen grab.

Hi Paulbh, i've just checked it on IE7 and guess what Egg was right its the pop up blocker thats stoping it, i allowed the pop up and it loads fine.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your support, these forums are fantastic. I thought I would explain how I got the preloader working so others can benifit from my learning curve.

I originally made my flash button to open my swf file. This meant that the preloader would work in FireFox but NOT in IE.

Here is the script.

**********
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:Launch('http://www.inspirationandjoy.com/flaskfold/presentation.swf')");
}
*********


Here is what I discovered. If you make the button open the HTML file (instead of the swf file) the preloader seems to work in both browsers.

So now it looks like this:

*************
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:Launch('http://www.inspirationandjoy.com/flaskfold/presentation.html')");
}
************

You can view the working model here http://www.inspirationandjoy.com then press view presentation. (Turn off pop-up blockers).

I don't know if this is common knowledge and people said nothing because it is presupposed that I would have done this OR if people just didn't know.

Hope this helps others with the same frustrating problem.

Warmest regards
Paul
