    Smile how to add a "loading bar"

    Hi,
    I have a media player (photostory) clip on my site and when you go to the page it takes a few seconds before it starts. The time is OK but I would like it to show that it is loading so people don't think it's going to take ages.

    Here's the link

    Anyone know how to do that? Thanks for your help.

    The text that says loading is created in flash, you only see this in flash movies.

    OK thanks. Is it worth creating a flash movie instead?
    Is there any other way I can show that the clip is loading?
    Thanks

    How about putting words on the page above where the movie loads - saying something like "movie loading - please be patient"??
