FLASH: Preload question

[Flash Casey]

I made a 20 frame preload screen with a bar that

starts out small and eventauly grows to the right. 

(pretty sophisicated hey)


anyways I made it a movie clip and in the first frame

of my movie there is a stop the only thing in that

frame is the preload movie clip.


the last frame in my movie clip advances the movie to

the second frame of the main timeline.


all sounds like it should work but i think it loading

the whole preloader before showing it. The preload is

50k my whole movie is 60k. 


When i load it on the internet it takes about 10

seconds then the preload screen races through and only

takes about 1 sec.


Do movie clips have to load completely before they

show?  Should my preloader be a scene?
