This is one of the reasons I avoid MM components unless I totally have to.
Most of the components will only work if you export in first frame so the
only option I''ve found is:
- Put your content in an external SWF (which also causes problems because of
a bug with the components needing an instance in the root library if they're
loaded into target MCs). So, you now need to create a Shared Library for the
components and preload them (or if you don't want the hassle of a shared
library, some components get around this bug if you put a _lockroot in the
SWF containing them).
I'd love to hear other peoples solutions to component preloading.

Here is an example of the preloader used placed on the first frame of
the movie.
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var loaded:Number = this.getBytesLoaded();
var total:Number = this.getBytesTotal();
var percent:Number = Math.floor((loaded/total)*100);
load_txt.text = "Loading... "+percent+"%";
loadBar._xscale = percent;
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndPlay(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
stop();
