Yes, that is the way to get around this, also make sure that you uncheck 'export in first frame' in your assets - when you uncheck that box, the compiler will not export the asset at all, so you need to physically place it on frame 2 or later, but before they are neeeded. Then the frame 1 'load' is only the weight of the preloader itself. hth, jimbo
