Re: [flasher] Starting Up question

My guess is you have some library symbols with linkage export (e.g. Sound??).

Those symbols will be loaded before anything else - so whatever you try, a preloader won't do any good.

If you want to get rid of it, the only solution I know is to not use exported symbols, or maybe put them in a seperate movie and

load that later on (when the preloader has started or something).
