Preloader not working in AS3 when viewing in a browser

Question

Hi there, It's me again Ysong.
I have a problem regarding PRELOADING.
MY TIMELINE:
• First frame -- dynamic text which is my preloader with AS3 in it. NO MORE OBJECT in the frame only text which is dynamic.
     stop();
     loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
     function updatePreloader(evtObj:ProgressEvent):void
          var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100)/evtObj.bytesTotal);
          myLoadText.text = "Loading..." + percent+"%";
          if (percent==100){
                    nextFrame();
• Second frame -- the whole site in MOVIE CLIP which will be loaded after the preloading ends.
***The whole SWF file is only 600KB when publishing.
***When simulating download the preloader is working.
MY PROBLEM:
Whenever I uploaded these two files: (1) index.swf and (2) index.html, the preloader doesn't work. When viewed in browser it apprears to be white screen. After a couple of minutes, the index.swf appears and the preloader is not appearing as it should be. With (2), I didn't change anything on Dreamweaver just upload the file published by Flash Professional CS4.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Can anyone help me with this. I've uploaded (PUT) the files through Dreamweaver with a testing server configured.
Thank you & Regards,
YSONG

hi Ned,
I currently downloading the tutorial link you posted.
Do you have any idea what is really happening? Because I really wanted to have a loading text only before the whole site is loaded. The SIMULATED DOWNLOAD in Flash CS4 is working great but whenever copy it in my hosting server and view it in my browser the preloader is not working.
Thank you for your immediate response.
Regards,
YSONG
