Hi,  
I followed the tutorial about a preloader [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)  
the preloader bar appears when about 50% of the file has been loaded, and then increases up to 100%. How can I fix this?  
when I simulate the loading process, the first frame is 8KB and exceeds the loading treshold (200B). Can anybody pls help me?  
thanks a lot
