Preloader not preloading??

Question

Hello!  I have a preloader using this script:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
function preLoad(e:Event):void{
     var bytestoLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
     var numberLoaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
     if (bytestoLoad == numberLoaded) {
          removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
          gotoAndPlay(2);
     }else {
          preloader.loadingMask.scaleX = numberLoaded/bytestoLoad;
          preloader.percentage.text = Math.floor(numberLoaded/bytestoLoad*100) + "%";
Basically, I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded.  Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded).  But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.  ?!  I get no errors, either.
PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic?  For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...

Check to make sure things are what you expect...
    else {
          preloader.loadingMask.scaleX = numberLoaded/bytestoLoad;
          preloader.percentage.text = Math.floor(numberLoaded/bytestoLoad*100) + "%";
          trace(preloader.loadingMask.scaleX, preloader.percentage.text);
and make sure your textfield text color is not the same as whatever is behind it.
