well, as far i know, preloaders dont make anything load faster, they just entertain the viewer until the stuff loads. if your having a problem with your fla, post it here so we can take a look at her.

what actions are you using on your preloader and on your frames?
your first frame should have something like :

bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);

and then on your 2nd frame it should have:

this.gotoAndPlay(1);

make sure you have your instances named and all that good stuff.
