Can someone please help with the Flash Preloader object?

[Outcast]

I got my latest flash game sponsored, and I am trying to incorporate the sponsors splash screen swf into the game with the Flash Preloader object. I have got this to work once with a previous game, but I just cant get it to work now. When I build and run the game I can hear the sound of the sponsors splashscreen (Max Games). But I dont see the animation. Sometimes I can see a small version of the animation flash for a half a second before it vanish. I would be really grateful if someone could help with this!, i am kind of stressed because I need this to be working as soon as possible as the sponsor is waiting for the game. I have the test mfa where I try to get this to work a long with the sponsors splash material here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...lic/Splash.zip

Also I uploaded the SWF here, this is what is happening (you can hear the sound, but no picture) http://www.varagtp.com/SwfTests/Splash.html

There are two places for flash and one for general problems I need this to work asap. No one has answered yet though .

I spent a couple hours last night trying to get this working and this is what I found:

-If you resize the preloader in fusion larger than it's original size it will not show up. A temp workaround for this is to center the preloader in your frame instead of resizing it.
-There is still an issue in the runtime when you try to destroy the preloader, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
-You only need the 'Show' event once.

I will try to track down the source on my external drive today and see if I can solve these issues. Sorry.

Yes I just saw that the audio keeps playing on loop in the game (FREE INTERNET GAME TO THE MAX!). I have tried to destroy the preloader but so far not got it to work :/ Is there any way to fix this? I need to get this to the sponsor as soon as possible (its a game for halloween)

I have updated the zip with the new mfa https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...lic/Splash.zip
Also here is the link to the splash now, no matter what I do the sound seems to just repeat after the splash screen http://www.varagtp.com/SwfTests/Splash.html

Problem solved in ClickConverse. If anyone in the future needs a working preloader in Flash, let me know.

Good to hear it got solved, if anyone faces a problem like this hit me up I know how to deal with it.

It's very tricky and requires you to be able to edit the sponsor preloader in Flash to add an ActionScript line to unload the preloader once you no longer need it.

Also the preloader can't be in a different Flash version than the one you would be using to export your game. (Preloader can't be AS2, either).

Well, some other steps are needed, let me know if anyone needs help with this.
