Anyone knows why is preloader start late? I’ve attached a FLA here, please let me know your ideas and suggestion.

On frame 1 I have:  
[COLOR=blue]loadpercent = “0%”;   
loadBytes = “0 of " + Math.round((\_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) \* 1000) / 1000 + " Kb”; [/COLOR]

On frame 2:[COLOR=blue]  
loadPercent = (Math.floor (\_root.getBytesLoaded() / \_root.getBytesTotal() \* 100) + “%”);  
loadBytes = (Math.round((\_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) \* 1000) / 1000 + " / " + Math.round((\_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) \* 1000) / 1000 + " Kb " );

if (\_root.getBytesLoaded() == \_root.getBytesTotal()){ //Check for finished loading  
//If loaded, final update to fields  
loadPercent = “100%”;  
loadBytes = (Math.round((\_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) \* 1000) / 1000 + " / " + Math.round((\_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) \* 1000) / 1000 + " Kb " );

```
gotoAndPlay("smi", 1);	//Where to go once your movie is loaded

```

}[/COLOR]

On frame 3:  
[COLOR=blue]gotoAndPlay(2);[/COLOR]

On frame 4:  
[COLOR=blue]gotoAndPlay(“smi”, 1);  
// proceed to next scene[/COLOR]

Your ideas and suggestion will be greatly appreciated to have your support. 🙂
