AS3: Preloader Not Working w/ Exported for AS Graphics

I have a lot of graphics and sounds in my library that are exported for Actionscript in Frame 1. I believe that because of the exported graphics, my preloader will not work. All I get is a white frame while the movie loads.

How can you preload graphics that are exported for Actionscript?

It is not applicable on every case, but maybe you can preloader in separate file, which loads your main swf. You can see detailed how to in this tutorial: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=85

When you export for Actionscript in Frame 1, everything that is exported must be loaded before any content is visible. I usually uncheck this button, and then everything is exported to the first frame where it's referenced. For more details on this approach, check out http://www.developria.com/2010/04/combining-the-timeline-with-oo.html . Howwever, if you're like most developers, you probably reference everything from your main document Class, so this may not do you much good. It does offer the possibility that you can avoid a preloader altogether, though, because loading is spread across different frames.

If your movie is structured like normal, check out http://www.8bitrocket.com/2008/4/22/Tutorial-Preloading-Actionscript-3-AS3-Games-in-Flash-CS3/ .
