Hi Guys

Please view www.vineyardonballito.co.za click on 'make your reservation
request' I have a simple preloader on this form and yet it only shows when
the form loads to 60%

Any idea why?

No, he doesn't mean it doesn't load, he means it only shows up once 60% has
loaded, then it shows it loading from 60% to 100%.

Your .swf size is so small i wouln'd worry about it. As to the cause in it
happening, just get a new preloader, would be easier than picking apart the
actionscript. Something that might help is post your AS for the preloader.

Is there any reason why you have used flash at all for this page?
I think it would be better suited to html as, apart from the preloader,
nothing is animated.
Maybe that's gonna come later..

Reason probably is that u are having linked assets in the library
(component, sound, whatever). Those will load before anything inlcuding your
preloader. Workaround: preloader only movie at level0 and load the rest into
a higher level. Has nothing to do with the preloader code at all. Just the
way Flash works it linked assets. This problem has been discussed before, so
for more info, check the google link below.
