Hi guys ,

i seem to encounter some problems on preloader when i place it into my swf.file. It took some time before the preloader appear then it loads , anyone know what’s the problem? i place the preloader on the first frame then the rest of the information is on the 2nd frame. The preloader image is just a vector image with animation of it being loaded

this is the actionscript i place in the first frame :

onClipEvent (load) {  
total = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
loaded = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
percent = int(loaded/total\*100);  
text = percent+"%";  
gotoAndStop(percent);  
if (loaded == total) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}
