(first frame prelaoder problem)...bandwidth profiler...

I am trying to implement a first frame preloader because it seems like my content takes some time to load (visitors are faced by a blank white screen for a little bit)...I want to display something while they wait...I was instructed to make 3 frames...1st frame for my preloader...2nd frame for my external class to be exported to and for all my library items that are imported through actionsript...I was told to place anything that is exported for actionscript on this frame...then to uncheck "export in first frame" for all of these same library objects...I also changed the publish setting to to export the classes to frame 2...then all my content is on frame 3...

the preloader stays in frame one until the load is complete...then it jumps to frame 3...

this all is fine, but my frame 1 is still huge in the bandwidth profiler...its still about 300kb...and therefore the preloader shows up at like 85%...any idea what I may be doing wrong?

hmm sounds like you covered everything! can u post a fla by chance?

300kbs of linked items you didn't see maybe. In the library sort by linkage, and you'll see if you missed one or two. In case you are using components, it's likely what happened.

Senocular's tutorial covers it well.
