I have an FLA file with two frames. On the first frame I have nothing but a textfield and some code to do the preloading. After it is done preloading it does gotoAndStop(2)

On frame 1 I have:

stop();
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
//Import the required assets
import flash.display.*;
//Stop the playhead while loading occurs
this.stop();

//Create a listener to call the loading function as the movie loads;
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, PL_LOADING);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, PL_FINISH);

function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
    var pcent:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal * 100;
    //Display the % loaded in textfield
    txt.text = int(pcent) + "%";
    //If the movie is fully loaded, kick to the next frame on the main timeline
}
function PL_FINISH(event:Event):void
{
    removeChild(txt);
    gotoAndStop(2);
}

On frame 2 I have nothing except:

var game:Game = new Game();
addChild(game);

In my publisher settings I have export to frame 2.

My problem is that the preloader won’t display until 100%. Does anyone know why?

P.S. For testing I put a large image file on the stage in frame 2 and the result is the same.

    This normally happens if you haven’t deselected “Export in frame 1” in each of the library symbols that you are exporting for ActionScript.

    enter image description here

    You’ll need to make sure that you create reference to these objects (so that ActionScript can access them) by placing them onto the stage in frame 2 (out of sight).

    What’s happening is that all of the symbols are being loaded before the preloader itself has loaded.

    If this isn’t the issue, then please provide some code so I can better assess your issue.
