What in this AS is causing my entire movie to reset whenever this preloader is reached? This is placed on a mc:

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.stop();  
medialoader.loadMovie(“media.swf”);  
this.topScale = this.\_width;  
this.\_xscale = 0;  
ft = int(medialoader.getBytesTotal()/1024);  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
fl = int(medialoader.getBytesLoaded()/1024);  
this.\_xscale = (fl/ft)_this.topScale;  
PERCENT = fl/ft;  
\_root.TEXT = Math.round(PERCENT_100)+"%";  
if (fl == ft) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(\_currentframe+1);  
play();  
}  
}  
[/AS]

Any clues as to what is wrong?

What’s preventing it from continually going through that ‘enterFrame’ code even after the preloader is finished? Seems like it would just keep hitting-

```
    _root.gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
    play();

```

over and over… :toad:
