Frame 1 size grows even though preloader is small file size

I'm hoping someone can help me out... I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading.  I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.  Any idea why this is happening??

made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

that's enough to ensure everything exported for actionscript will export in frame no matter what you checked in the library panel.  to remedy, change the publish settings to export in a frame other than 1 AND make sure all library items do not have export in frame 1 checked.

Thank you for replying, I changed the export frame to 2 since my movie only has 2 frames, but the first frame is still larger than the second.  It does seem to have made both frames 1 & 2 slightly smaller in size than in the beginning though... it's as if it's dispersed itself among the two frames more evenly.

I appreciate the suggestion, thanks.

if you set all classes to export in frame 2 and unchecked export in frame 1 for all exported library assets the only things flash will load in frame 1 will be the assets in frame 1 (which could include a font) if you have a textfield in frame 1 with an embedded font.
