Is there anyway to bypass a preloader if the entire file is already loaded, e.g. missing the intro? I have tried using the ShardObject code quite unsucsessfully, the code I used was:

[AS]

//stop before running into the next scene  
stop();  
//check if there is already the SharedObject  
gn = SharedObject.getLocal(“GamesNetwork”);  
if (gn.data.visited == 1) {  
nextScene;  
} else {  
//create a variable in the SO  
gn.data.visited = 1;  
//write the SO  
gn.flush();  
//set the function “preloader” to run every 10ms  
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);  
//define the function preloader  
function preloader() {  
//check to see if it is fully loaded  
if (getBytesLoaded()\>=getBytesTotal()) {  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
play();  
}  
// define the variable percentile as the percent loaded for future use  
percentile = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()\*100);  
//set the alpha of the logo  
this.earthLogo.\_alpha = percentile;  
//set the length of the percent bar  
this.bar.\_xscale = percentile;  
}  
}

[/AS]
