Thanks again everyone, i was able to get rid of the loading bar and add a play and pause button on the site. This will have to do for now until i have some time to redo it!
It loaded instantly for me. The flash from clicking item to item took a little while but wasn't anywhere near 20+ seconds.
yup, he's obviously taken out the loading bar that pre-buffs the flash file, instead now it buffs while playing so loading is instantaneous, however if someone in china came on this site it would keep pausing and buffing as the host is far away.
