Question: Why Do My Flash Preloads Hang?
Sometimes when using a preloader, Flash movies can get stuck loading at a certain percent and never finish.
Answer: This can be caused by a variety of issues, but most often it's a problem not with the Flash movie, but with the connection between the site hosting the Flash movie and the user viewing it. The hosting server could be hiccuping; so could the user's internet connection. Either way, an interruption in the connection while the Flash movie is downloading can cause it to stop, making the preloader hang at whatever percentage it was at when the interruption happened. The simple solution is to check the internet connection, troubleshoot it if necessary, or troubleshoot the server.
If the problem is widespread across pretty much every user who views the movie, there's a problem in your preloader code. There may be an infinite loop in there somewhere, or something else that's causing it to reach a certain point and hang. Check your code for errors, miscalculations, or typos.
