Having to refresh to see my swf file on my site

My swf file on my site doesn't show up on the first time. It shows my loader and intro but I have to refresh around 3 times for it to show the full site after my intro. What's my problem?

    Sounds like load time of the swf is high.... like it it loading 100% before previewing. There are settings to help with that.

    Note: This is assuming your swf is being embedded...
    Flash OBJECT and EMBED tag attributes

    Like it shows my preloader which is the percentage of loading and then my intro plays for 5 seconds like it's suppose to and then after that it's just straight blank and you have to hit refresh a good 5 times for it to finally show the site after the intro.

      Can you check once with your local copy and open the site from the local copy present on your computer.
      if it opens with local copy on your computer without any issue, then the problem is flash size.

      or send me the link of site, i would see the sizes and let you know if any issue with the size or any other issue.

    Ok I did something a little different and I think it's working now. It's not showing my intro but that's fine for now I can fix it later.

      Ok.. Glad to know its working.
      anyway we know its the size which was the issue, as it was working good locally.

    Have you optimize the size of your swf file, if not try to compress it.

    On my publish settings I have it set to compress. How else would I optimize it?
