Hello all,

I'm thinking that someone has already addressed this issue but I have a slight issue and I can't find an answer to my problem.

My .swf file is about 4MB (and it's going to get bigger) in size and whenever anyone goes to look at it, they look at a white screen for a while then it shows my preloader for half a second then it goes to the 3rd frame. I want them to watch the preloader as it's loading the actual movie. Do I need an external .swf or something? How do I do that? My code is as follows:

myLoaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
myTotal = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
myPercent = myLoaded/myTotal;
myBar._width = myPercent*100;
myText = Math.round(myPercent*100)+"%";
if (myLoaded == myTotal) {
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

It's located in the second frame and I don't have any actions in my first frame.

Thanks in advance
