I am making a preloader for my movie. I followed this tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/preloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/preloader.htm). However, for some reasons, my movie won’t play any frame (not a single frame) until the whole movie is loaded. How do I know? I simulated download in debug window with 1kb/s, the loaded label showed **Loaded: xx% ( 0 frames)** all the way up to 100%, where the movie is fully downloaded, and then the movie plays.

I tested the flash movie from [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/preloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/preloader.htm), the clip starts playing as soon as the first frame is loaded.

What did I do wrong? Is any setting that I can change to force my movie loading frame by frame?
