Please help me with an as3 preloader

[paxtonpacker]

Hi All,

I'm a flash noob and really need some help. I spent two full days trying to figure this out and I'm completely stuck.

I'm using a common preloader technique which basically uses one swf file (preloader.swf) to open another swf file (content.swf) using the following flash object:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("content.swf");

It almost works but the progress never quite makes it to 100% but it suddenly stops around 85% and launches the video early. It screws up the timing and the video becomes out of synch with the audio.

Any help would be GREATLY apprecaited.

Thanks SO MUCH in advance.

Your code is fine. I throttled my connection back and got to 99% before it loaded. How are you activating your sound? I would suggest streaming the sound, instead of loading the event. That should do it for you. ; )

Thank you for your helpful replies. It turns out that the preloader was not working properly due to the fact that the HTML code I was using to load the swf file was incomplete. This caused it to load propelry in IE but poorly in chrome and ff.
