help with loader

[volim]

i've been trying to build a loader and i think i almost accomplished my mission. this is the code i used on frame 1 of scene 1

stop();
myinterval = setInterval(preload,100);

function preload(){
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal()){
gotoAndStop("main",1);
clearInterval(myInterval);

}
}


the code seems to work but for some reason the movie has to load till 40% before the loading screen even appears.

you can see the site at omnisect.com

can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong here?

by the way i'm using flash mx 2004

Maybe you have some linked library items that are being loaded first (when u create linkage for a library item, and you have "export on first frame" checked)
