It seems that your preloader isn’t kicking in fast enough so that’s why you see that white screen.

i am using this :

total\_bytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
loaded\_bytes = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
remaining\_bytes = total\_bytes-loaded\_bytes;  
percent\_done = int((loaded\_bytes/total\_bytes)\*100);  
bar.gotoAndStop(percent\_done);  
ifFrameLoaded (“startup”, 150) {  
gotoAndPlay(“startup”, 1);  
}

as my preloader, is it not fast enough ? is there anything i can do about it ?
