I’ve setup a preloader, but I can’t figure why it seems to display at about 40%. I’ve been really careful not to use components in the movie. The preloader is extremely small (1k) so it’s not taking the time to load the preloader.

The only thing I can think of is the embedded fonts. Anyone aware of this problem happening with embedded fonts…? I need to try and isolate where the problem is happening.☹

Ah, I answered my own question. I painstakingly removed the embedded fonts… then realised I had one on the preloader. Just for everyone else: Don’t use embedded fonts on your preloader… it screws up the same as using components!=)
