I have been using the following tutorial to make a preloader, and when I use it the percent and bar starts at like 65 percent. Should I use another tutorial or what? Thanks.

you might be exporting something on the first frame from the library or a sound attached as part of the preloader.

Is the preloader actually loading something or is IT all that’s in the SWF?
