I’ve tried to create a preloader in frame 1 which shows a small animation while the site loades. But it doesn’t work as it actually loads the entire site before showing frame 1 which kinda takes the idea out of the preloader.

This is my code:  
[FONT=Courier New]stop();  
addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, loading);  
function loading(event:Event) {  
var bytesloaded=stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;  
var bytestotal=stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;  
if (bytesloaded\>10&&bytesloaded\>=bytestotal) {  
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, loading);  
play();  
}  
}[/FONT]
