Stage flashes white just before images load

Question

Hello Forum members,
I have a strange problem. I have developed a Flash slideshow that loads 6 images from the web server using an xml loader (the image names are in an
xml file), then loads these images into an array.  I have an xmlloader to read the xml file, and a Loader that loads the images from the array,
and then changes the images every 4 secs or so.
My problem is that when the web page is opened from a client, the space where the flash object is located (in a table)
flashes white until the images are loaded.  I thought I could fix the problem by making the stage the same color as
the background on the web page. No dice, I still see a white box (800x320 px) that is the size of the stage, and the size of
the images.
When I compile it on my computer, if I look fast I can see a quick flash of white just before the images load!
The web site is: www.andiamoadventours.com.  I did not develop the page, but put the Flash code in the index.html page.
There is quite a lot of javascript on this page, maybe developed in Dreamweaver.
Any ideas on this?  I can attach the action script code if desired, for more clarification.  Let me know on this.
Basically, the images reside in a folder on the web server, the xml file has the image names, the xml loader reads the xml file,
and when it is complete, goes to a routine that takes the name of the image from an xml list I create, and then loads an array.
I load the image into the loader, etc.  This is clearer with the code.  I am using CS4 and a document class, slides.as.
Thanks,

Hello dmennenoh
I replaced the old code with the swf object, and added a background color to the embedded definitions,
This solved the problem!
Thanks, I will keep this in my memory
