Flash Header Anomaly?

I have built a Flash header (using Final Cut Pro, Adobe Media Encoder, then Flash to .swf, on a MacBook Pro), used preloader, set Artisteer Header section to size of actual .swf, then set A's Header section to resize to header etc, and end up with .swf header appearing in top right corner, then (after about 10 to 20 secs) the .swf jumps to correct location. Have hunted forum for something similar, no luck. I thing the best way to explain problem (if it's Artisteer based) is to post the link and ask for feedback. If it's not Artisteer related, I don't expect an answer. If it is, I'd really appreciate some pointer to the error of my ways. Thanks

On first page visit, the header does look misplaced, however after a page refresh, it seems to be aligned correctly. Since the header is aligned correctly the second time, it wouldn't be Artisteer related. Artisteer is just the template.

[While typing this] - I was browsing again and noticed some other pages don't work well with the flash object. Again, it resizes after a few seconds or on a page refresh. I'd check the flash object, I checked the page source and all divs are behaving as expected.

Nothing in the template is pushing the flash object to the right. Hope this info's useful. :-)

Thanks Lawrence, it is useful info and will help me narrow down the search. I notice that the url address bar in browser indicates the page is still loading, when it completes, the swf header pops into the correct position so I'm guessing it has to do with the preloader code.

Thanks for your response.
