FLASH: preloader question/TIA

[Marie]

I have followed colinmoock's tutorial on building a preloader, but 

still have a couple of unanswered questions. My setup is the 

following:


The movie is only 22 frames long, but has 19 layers in all, including 

3 preloader layers, "Labels", "Actions" and "Content".

In the Labels layer, I left frame 1 static, labeled frame 2 as 

"preload-loop" , frame 16 as "begin-movie" and frame 22 as 

"minimum-loadpoint".


On frame 1 of Actions, I've put in the action:

IfFrameIsLoaded [,minimum-loadpoint], GotoandPlay [,begin-movie]

On frame 2 of Actions I put:

GotoandPlay [,preload-loop]

On frame 22, I put:

Stop


On frame 1 of Content, I left frame 1 static, started the preload 

movie on 2, and went to frame 8.


The problem that I have is that the movie, published and on the 

server, appears to load the preloader for just 1-2 seconds, then jump 

along to the main movie before it has completed loading. It looks 

like it stalls at about frame 16.

I greatly appreciate any insights you might have to offer.
