Preloader Not Previewing

Question

Hi All,
I've written a simple preloader which I've put in its own movie clip. The code is as follows:
yOrg = 14;
yShift = 95;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  byteTot = _root.getBytesTotal();
  byteLoa = _root.getBytesLoaded();
  loadVal = byteLoa/byteTot;
  loadPercent = Math.round(loadVal);
  if (loadPC>=1) {
      //starts movie
    _parent.play();
  } else {
    //moves masking object
    msk._y = yOrg-(yShift*loadVal);
    loadTxt.text= "LOADING "+loadPercent;
The code works out a value between 0 and 1 called 'loadVal' this is used to animate a masking object a distance defined by a variable called 'yShift'. loadVal is rounded up to give a whole number that is displayed in a text field showing the percentage of the movie which has loaded.
The preloader seems to be running and it will trigger the move to play when it completes but I can't see the preloader previewing in the Bandwidth Profiler, even when I set the data speed to be very slow. I've noticed this issue before and it is annoying as I need to see how the preloader looks and works.
Any ideas?

try:
yOrg = 14;
yShift = 95;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  byteTot = _root.getBytesTotal();
  byteLoa = _root.getBytesLoaded();
  loadVal = byteLoa/byteTot;
  loadPercent = Math.round(100*loadVal);
  if (loadPC>=100) {
      //starts movie
delete this.onEnterFrame;
    _parent.play();
  } else {
    //moves masking object
    msk._y = yOrg-Math.round(yShift*loadVal);
    loadTxt.text= loadPercent+"% Loaded";
