It doesn’t matter what layer your content is on, as long as it’s on frame 3 then it will start playing.
So let’s say you have 5 layers of content to your movie, you want to make sure all of those layers start on frame 3.

Are you testing it on your comp? If so then the preloader won’t show up.
You can test your preloader while in flash by pressing Ctrl Enter and then Enter again to use the bandwidth simulator.

You’ll need to upload it to a remote server if you want to test it live.
