Preloader starts late (I know this has been asked)

1

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?

I had this same issue a while back. One thing you can do to help is load your sound in externally. Check out this thread, starting about post #10 where [Legoman] kicks in. There should be an fla in there somewhere too that explains it. Kinda nifty.

Great thread, I’ll definately try it when I get off work. But also, before I even had sound in my movie, the preloader was still starting late.(about half way)
On account of dynamic text and components.Any way around that?
Thanks so far.
