Okay. I get what you are saying, but since I know virtually nothing about Flash, I could use a little clarification on the execution...

First, since you're already using SWFObject, get it working and don't use the (invalid HTML) <object><embed></object

I am using Dreamweaver and the code that is there was automatically generated when I inserted my flash object.

<div id="my-placeholder"><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="loading-flash-image.jpg" alt="Loading Flash, get the Flash Player here"></a></div>

Does this line of code replace the whole segment?

Then in your Flash, you do a preload, lots of samples out there.

I used the preload actionscript:

stop();

ifFrameLoaded (_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay ("start");
}

but the loading frame doesn't show...
