I have spent hours trying to do this, and I am totally stuck, can anyone help me out here please.

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
	total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
	
	percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
	per = int(percent);
	
	_root.mcPreloader.mcStar.percentage = per+"%";
	loadBar._width = per*1.78;

	if (percent>99) {
		this._alpha -=5;}
		//stop();
		//_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}

```

Basically what I have is a preloader and when it reaches 99% it fades out.

Now my problem is after the fade out I need to goto frame 3, however if i place the goto command, the fade out becomes non existant and it goes to frame 3 anyway. How can I get it to goto frame 3 after it has faded out.

Any advice urgently needed,

many thanks
