Preloader Not Appearing In Time

[Fat-Lifeguard]

I think I may have been doing my preloaders incorrectly, because it seems that they don't pop up until the loading has already been complete. Is this a common problem and is there an easy way to fix it? I'm particularly concerned because it happened with my most recent game, Snake on a Plane and I used the standard NG Preloader for it. Is it because I put the preloader on a separate scene at the beginning of the movie? (I know now never to use scenes again, you don't have to post it.) Or is there some other problem? Or is it just something happening on my computer and you guys see the preloader just fine?

I think you ticked 'export in first frame' for linkage of a music file, so it is loaded before everything else (including preloader). Untick it, then create an empty clip on frame 2 of your movie. In that clip have a stop action on frame 1 and the sound file (set to event) on frame 2 so it is exported after the preloader instead
