Hi I have a simple preloader, but not matter how many times I test it, on different platforms and different speeds… the screen remains blank until it gets to 71%… is there anyway to get the proloader to show earlier?

**Frame 1 AS**  
bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_574;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(5);  
}

**Frame 2 AS**  
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
