Hi

New to Flash 🙂

Have used the preloader at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader.htm) and it seems to work fine however after the last frame of the movie it appears to flick (quickly) back to the preloader info, note I want the movie to loop continually. Is there a way I can add something that will make the movie loop direct to frame two and miss the preloader?

Cheers

Greg

```auto
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);

```

in the last frame of your movie?
