Loading movie in browser

I have a flex website in which I have embedded a flash game. The game works perfectly on the site however there is a large period of time that the game does not play. I am assuming that this is because it's loading the game so I put a preloader at the beginning of the game.

Unfortunately the preloader doesn't show up until the actual game has loaded and obviously by then it's pointless.

I don't know what I need to do to make the preloader show up before the game loads.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated

Sounds like you're putting a lot of things in the first frame. f you're exporting things to the first frame from the library, or you've got big filesize items in the first frame, it'll have to load them before the preloader. Which makes the preloader redundant.

I only have the preloader in the first frame. In fact, I used the newgrounds preloader to test with something that I know works, but it still doesn't

try putting a stop();
at the top of frame 2...
