Preloading? kglad?

Question

I've had lots of issues using the method of creating a preloader swf for my websites. An example is the other thread I have going on here. How can I self preload my background.swf (the swf that contains the navigation and other code). Everything I've tried doesn't work. It always preloads everything and then my preloader shows up at 80%.

Answer 1

My assets in frame 1 are down to 12 kb's. I have the st
andard preloaderSWF loading with the little dots. However, the progress code doesn't work. There for I cannot seem
to display a percent to the user, just the dots animation. How do I get the preloaderSWF to show percentage when the per
centage code in on the main.swf?
Main.swf
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onLoading(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
var loaded:Number = evt.bytesLoaded / evt.bytesTotal;
//percent_txt.text = (loaded*100).toFixed(0) + "%";
trace(loaded);
function onComplete(event: Event):void {
this.loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoading);
this.loaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
gotoAndStop(2);
***** default preloader SWF
// avoid accessing the stage if it is not your immediate parent
// to prevent security sandbox errors with content loaded across domains
var myStageWidth:int, myStageHeight:int;
var mainTimeline:DisplayObjectContainer = this;
try {
// go up to the Loader
if (mainTimeline.parent != null) {
  mainTimeline = mainTimeline.parent;
// go up to the parent of the Loader
if (mainTimeline.parent != null) {
  mainTimeline = mainTimeline.parent;
if (mainTimeline is Stage) {
  myStageWidth = stage.stageWidth;
  myStageHeight = stage.stageHeight;
} else {
  myStageWidth = mainTimeline.loaderInfo.width;
  myStageHeight = mainTimeline.loaderInfo.height;
} catch (se:SecurityError) {
if (mainTimeline != null) {
  myStageWidth = mainTimeline.loaderInfo.width;
  myStageHeight = mainTimeline.loaderInfo.height;
// center animation in the middle of the stage
anim_mc.x = (myStageWidth) / 2 - (anim_mc.width / 2);
anim_mc.y = (myStageHeight) / 2 - (anim_mc.height / 2);
function handleRSLError(callback:Function, numComplete:int, numFailed:int, failedURLs:Array):void {
trace("rsl error!");
trace("numComplete " + numComplete);
trace("numFailed " + numComplete);
trace("numComplete " + numComplete);
trace("failedURLs:");
for (var i:int = 0; i < failedURLs.length; i++) {
  trace("  " + failedURLs[i]);
callback();
