I just used one of the Transition FX on two images on a homepage. They seem to load differently each time so I was wondering if there are animated gifs that can be added so that the person browsing sticks around long enough for it to load?
Also, does anyone know why they are so erratic?

I think I need to clarify my original post. I guess what I’m looking for is a Preloader. Once the site is stored in cache it works fine, but the first time someone goes to the site they have no way of knowing that something else is coming after the music unless they hang around for a bit.
In Preview, of course, in works perfectly and there’s no delay. But in the real world on the web it takes a bit for the Transition graphics to load.
How does a Preloader time itself to the actual loading of the graphics?

Sorry I can’t help Chod but if I may … Joe , yes those loaders are excellent but how to add them in Freeway ? - I’m guessing that it will be Insert Markup Item but I’m a little confused there appears to be 3 ways of adding markup :
Insert Markup Item
Page meta tags
Page HTML markup
Any help welocome.

Well, if you had a layer set to appear after a delay (using the Transition FX Action) then what I would do is place the loading graphic on a visible layer below the “appearing” layer. When the layer appears, it will cover the loading graphic, which will just keep spinning forever behind it.

Ah - you must think I’m really dumb … it’s just an animated gif which I should treat as a graphic … I thought it was more complicated than that hence my comments about insert html and stuff.
BTW what are the differences between these:
Insert Markup Item
Page meta tags
Page HTML markup
many thanks as ever Walter

Insert > Markup Item allows you to inject a bit of code anywhere you like on the page. You can either insert the MI into the page, at which point it will appear as a resizable 100px square box with a little H in the corner, or as an inline object within a run of text, in which case it will appear as a tiny rectangle with an H in it, bobbing along within the text.
Page > Meta Tags allows you to add Meta tags to the head of the page. These are used for various reasons, all to do with describing the content of the page (meta-data, or information about information.)
Page > HTML Markup is a dialog that lets you insert HTML markup into a series of cardinal points in the code that Freeway generates. Generally, these points are before and after the major blocks of a page:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
You’re welcome!
