Can't seem to preload SWF file that contains FLVplayback component

1

ok… so i have a SWF file which basically just contains a FLVplayback component…
the video works fine and all that once the SWF has loaded…

however, i would like to create a preloader for the SWF file while it is still loading the player…
i cant seem to make it work…

i have 2 scenes…
scene 1 contains nothing but code…


this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updateTextBox);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadVideoPlayer);

function updateTextBox(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
    trace(this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded);
}

function loadVideoPlayer(event:Event):void
{
    play();
}

stop();

scene 2 contains two layers: 1.) the FLVplayback component which i gave an instance name of “theVideo” and 2.) an actions layer…

stop();
import fl.video.*;
theVideo.source = "pc_video.flv";

i tested the movie and it only started tracing once it got to about 97%…
so i figured, maybe i should uncheck the “export in first frame” of the FLVplayback component in the library…
i published the movie again, still the same results…

i tried to edit the swf publish settings to “export classes in frame 2”…
published the movie, still the same results…

i tried unchecking “export for actionscript” in the linkage of the FLVplayback component inside the library… still the same results

so what the hell am i doing wrong?!?
by the way, i’m using flash CS3…
