Preloader scene (Composer)

I’m trying to make a preloader scene. Problem is that the loading animation stops when the game scene is loading. Is there a way to preload a scene and simultaneously show loading animation?

function scene:create( event ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local sceneGroup = self.view &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local animLoading = display.newText( "Loading", 100, 200, native.systemFont, 16 ) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;sceneGroup:insert(animLoading) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;transition.blink( animLoading, { time=2000 } ) end function scene:show( event ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local sceneGroup = self.view &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local phase = event.phase &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;if phase == "will" then &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; elseif phase == "did" then &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local game = composer.loadScene( "game", false ) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local function changeScene() &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;composer.gotoScene( "game", "fade", 800 ) &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;end &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;preloadtimer = timer.performWithDelay( 5000, changeScene ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end end
