You have instances in the library that Loads in first frame, So they load
before frame 0, plus you use attachMovie to load your preloader. What
happens is that the preloader and all assets that are set to export in first
frame load, then the preloader gets attached but all your assets are
allready

Also you should use font-size (in px) not size. I'm not sure if
text-transform works or letter-spacing or margins for that matter. Keep
you CSS simple and all should be well.

If you know the level of your listener, then you should use it to reference
it in your function calls.
But all that depends on how your projects is built. Is your code on _level0?

You should use your dispatcher object or instance to call that method.
