A Problematic Preloader

Alright guys, this will be the last thing I ask of ya :). Me = :trout:

Anyhoo, my preloader for the site is not working correctly. All I do is the following:

My preloader is in a scene all by itself entitled: “preloader”. The scene has two frames. The scene has two layers, one entitled “graphics” and the other entitled “actions”. The first frame of the “actions” layer consists of the following:


 if(this.getBytesTotal() > this.getBytesLoaded())
 {
 	 txtLoading.text = "(" + getBytesLoaded() +  "/" + getBytesTotal() + ")";
 	 gotoAndPlay(1);
 }
 else
 {
 	 gotoAndStop(2);
 }

In the second frame of the preloader, I have some graphics and such (nothing fancy) and a Button that the user must click to proceed to the main page. The button contains the following code:


 on(release)
 {
 	 gotoAndPlay("Main", 1);
 }

The problem is this: When I up the site to the web, the preloader continues on and then just progresses right into the “Main” scene of my movie without having the user click on the button to proceed. Any ideas here because I’m lost…

Well… usually I would do something like put the gotoandPlay(1) in the second frame instead of the first…Then put what you had on the 2nd frame in the 3rd or something… tell the movie to gotoandPlay that frame when done loading. And put a stop action in there… or you could just tell it to gotoandStop… whichever suits you. Hope this helps…

**stop();**
if(this.getBytesTotal() >= this.getBytesLoaded())
{
     txtLoading.text = "(" + getBytesLoaded() + "/" + getBytesTotal() + ")";
     gotoAndPlay(2);
}
