Adobe Flash CS5 Preloader Taking Too Long

Question

Using Adobe Flash CS5.Created a 1mb (.swf) presentation (images, transitions, voice-over, etc).Used the Preloader for SWF template from Flash CS5 library.Copied the code into its own layer called "AS3" into frame 1.Copied the little text box with instance name percent_txt into frame 1.Everything else starts in frame 2.The profiler still reads about 300kb in the first frame and it takes until about 50% (about 20 seconds at 56kb dl) until the simple image I put on frame 1 appears.I read on this forum something about "exporting about 1mb of assets in your first frame", but I don't understand what that means...

Ok, I found the Flash Settings...In Publish Settings, Flash Tab... next to the Script: ActionScript 3.0, I clicked the "settings" button and changed the "Export classes in frame:" option to "2"What I still don't understand is why the preloader doesn't show until about 450kb of my 900kb file is downloaded!I don't have anything else in frame 1, yet it's still got that spike at about 500kb. How do I get rid of that so my preloader starts showing almost immediately?
