a large file blockin infront of the preloader

[moooo]

hi...
I was currentli stuck by this prob....
i got a sound file which i needed to be include in movie
(64kb)
so as usual i place a preloader in the very first 3frame....

and when i preview, i find tat its blank cos its loading the 64 kb stuff even b4 the preloader
as a result, the preloader onli to be seen when 70 over % of things is loaded

is there anyway to amend it so tat the preloader can preload the sound file actualli
so it ll be seen thru out the preload progress...

very big thankz for help

Check your post in Flahs 5 Actionscript board.

do you have the sound file located in the 4th frame?

hmmm...
don think so cos the preloader i use occupied onli 3 frames
ive check up and down that there is no sound file any where
at the first few frame....

i think i din put any sound file in the movie at all...
i call up from an action behind.... will these be the prob???

if you want the preloader to preload the sound file then you need to put the sound file in frame 4, then flash will have something to check for, at the moment it has nothing. If you have the sound file in the library this may be counting as your 64k.
