A good Flash Designer will put alot of effort into a preloader, knowing that it may be viewed for sometime while the site loads in the background. Its eye candy to keep the viewer occupied during the times when content or data is being loaded in. Big Spaceship have put together a site to showcase and archive preloaders from websites past and present. Checkout the preloader museum and waste a bit of time watching loaders loading nothing, a collection of less than ordinary, pretty looking preloaders from websites old and new. Somewhat of a homage to the preloader. You can submit your own preloaders to pretty loaded aswell.
Hi,
the user should never have to wait, loaders are just painting the corpse. I guess there are some cases where you have no choice, but I still find using them sucks

@Ariel
There’s gonna be preloaders for years to come.
You better get use to it.
Ah, 0 wait time, AKA instantaneous data transfer and processing. Nice.
Great link.
what’s the point? ok we may need preloaders, but wouldn’t it be better show people how to do their own, instead of showing how good everyone else’s is? jezuz h christ!
oh yeah, and if there is a preloader, oesn’t mean there’s too much flash?
