Preloader export to frame scenario

Question

I decided to move my preloader to the main timeline of my SWF
instead of it's own scene in an attempt to simplify things. As
before, everything works fine other than the blank white screen for
about 15 secs and then the progress bar hitting the scene at about
50%. I see that this is a common surmountable issue. I am
preloading an embedded font component which is taking up a little
time. I tried to uncheck "Export in first frame" on the text
component in the library and loading classes in publish settings
into frame 2, (and also 3 when that didn't work, where the main
movie event takes place.) The preloader is a standard 2-Frame
breaking loop deal. Everything works great but my embedded font
doesn't load at all when I do this. Everything else works. However,
if I purposely comment out the embedded font for testing purposes,
the preloader appears on the scene at about 20% so I know that the
embedded font loading is bogging the preloader down. Of course I
would like the preloader to start as close to the beginning as is
possible as we all do. The font in question is in a nested movie
clip starting on it's own Frame 1 where I build the first text
field using AS. This embedded font is the only linkage "Export for
Action Script" in the entire SWF. I can't get my text fade-in/out
to work unless I use an embedded font. At least not the way that I
am doing it. Here is the code for the textfield:
//Create text field
onClipEvent( enterFrame ){
this.createTextField("textframe",this.getNextHighestDepth(),-92,-72,177,160);
textframe.wordWrap = true;
textframe.html = true;
textframe.htmlText = "<p align = 'center'> First text
string here. </center>";
textframe.embedFonts = true;
var textFieldFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textFieldFormat.font = "textFieldFont"; // embedded font
textFieldFormat.size = 16;
textframe.setTextFormat(textFieldFormat);
//End create text field
I use this exact chunk of code repeatedly on the timeline of
the movie clip and change the _alpha of the clip for the fade
effects and change the .htmlText property to change the textfield
itself after x amount of frames. Question is, How can I force my
preloader to load first and have the embedded font preload before
it is needed if not the way that I am doing it? Perhaps the movie
clip being nested is my problem? Or, do I need to add another frame
to the main timeline? This is all I need to wrap up my first SWF.
Once I nail this down and can actually begin to approach
"productiviosity". I know it's not a word, but it should be.

Answer 1

I see that, I tested it online and the SWF locked on the
preloader. It's all good now, thank you. I will try to figure out
the preloader itself now. It seems that no matter what I do the
preloader progress bar appears at about 50%. Otherwise everything
is fine. If I uncheck "Export in first frame" on my embedded font
component and load classes into the 3rd frame where my main movie
starts on the 4th frame, my text never loads. I am going back to
school :)
