[thelist] Flash preloader does not work on Netscape 4

[Charlie Llewellin]

Replying to my own message...

For those interested, it seems that the problem comes from exporting the 
movie as version 4. If I exported it as Flash 5 none of the probelms below 
happened. I checked the scripting again and no Flash 4 errors were reported.
