I follow the tutorial Preloader tut with %, here in Kirupa. Well here is the fla. to make it simpler. If anyone can take a look at it, I would realy appreciate it.

1. Be careful with the following: **loadbar** is different than **loadBar**.

2. There should be **nothing** except the preloader on the 1st and 2nd frames of your movie. The content will be starting on frame 3.

3. Using components screws up the preloader. That happens because they export some stuff in the movie’s first frame. Anything exported in first frame is downloaded before anything else, even before the preloader takes action, causing a load delay before the movie starts.

If you must use components you can stop them from being exprted in the 1st frame. However, some parts (too lazy too be detailed) will still be loaded in the first frame.

So you can make it a little better.
