This is all while using the progress bar tut on this site.

I have nothing in my first frame except the bar and dynamic text field for the preloader. My content is on frame3. I know that flash exports sound, components, dynamic text, blah blah blah, on the first frame. (according to the bandwith profiler my first frame is larger than the 3rd!) Anyway, I knew this would be a problem. But what are the best fixes…if any. Ive seen numerous people with these problems but I dont have a fix.  
Should I just dump my library?..Load in everthing?  
Maybe use a different preload method?
